This week in English we have been writing diary entries about our school day at Streethay. The children tried really hard to include adverbs and commas for a list in their writing. We are really impressed with their finished entries. 

In Team Meadow we are amazing at using the concrete resources to support our maths learning. We found the dienes really helpful when learning column addition. 

This week in our weekly ukulele lesson, children in Team Badgers were practising playing 3 different chords within the same song.  This is really tricky and the children had to remember where to place their fingers each time.

Sunflowers have read The Three Little Pigs story in Literacy. They have made a list of items they would pack in their suitcase for when they run away from the wolf.

Daisies have enjoyed participating in ribbon dancing. This helps the children to develop their fine motor skills and gross motor skills, with their arm movements.

This week in art, we have started to design our own Egyptian scrolls to give information about ourselves. We mind mapped lots of symbols and patterns from ancient Egyptian art and looked at how we could change them and adapt them to reflect our likes and interests.  We then investigated creating…

In Badgers this week, we are learning to recall and use the three times table. We learnt about how we can use known facts from the three times table to calculate other three times table facts by adding groups of 3 or subtracting groups of 3. 

In PSHE this week we have been having discussions about friendships and appropriate behaviour. We have been thinking about how we might respond in different situations and how we should be mindful of how others might be feeling.
