Class 1
13.5.19 Practical problem solving supported by arrays. 'If I had 12 gloves how many fingers are there altogether?' The children used their skip counting skills to work out the answers to many different multiplication problems.
13.5.19 Our new 'mini-beasts topic has kick-started so class 1 visited Bobbit's Hole to discover the mini-beasts who inhabit the nature reserve. Slow worms, butterflies, bees, spiders, ladybirds, caterpillars were some of the many little creatures found by the class. Lots of super facts were taken on board and the children embraced the chance to explore and learn.
10.5.19 PE - Exploring different ways to move! Hurdles, jumps, gallops, negotiating space and avoiding obstacles when moving.
Morrison's continued... We explored morrison's and learnt about all the areas of the store and what they produce. The store treated us to a tasting session and a turn on the tills! We LOVED working the check-out! Class 1 were able to distinguish the between the materials that all the packaging was made from.
Trip to Morrisons! 30.4.19 We went to morrisons to recycle materials and to do our part in looking after the environment.
April - Easter preparation - making Easter cards to represent the Easter story.
Our Pizzas were YUM!!
26.4.19 Cally from Morrison's came to see us and donated all the ingredients we needed to make pizza. Here we are chopping ingredients and designing our own recipe.
5.4.19 THE IPSWICH TRANSPORT MUSEUM! A wonderful trip was had by all of Class 1. The museum was full of old vehicles from the first ever man-powered taxi, to a grocers cart driven by horse, then onto penny farthing bicycles, old tram buses, prams, polices cars and fire engines. The children were fascinated and learnt to be able to distinguish between old and new and given reasons as to why.
Using the cars we had just made Class 1 raced them against one another to test their designs. We lined up the cars and made sure it was a fair test. We all made predictions about who's car would travel the furthest and why. We then measured the distance they traveled in order to just the car that came first.
Red nose day fundraising FUN!!
More vehicle making at it's best!
3.4.19 - Making our moving toy car! First we looked at varied vehicles in order to design our own. We cut our own materials and assembled, joint and pieced together all the parts. The outcomes were fab!
1.4.19 Testing Materials - Class 1 tested materials before deciding what materials to use to make a toy car. We tested to see if the materials were waterproof, bendy or strong. We made great predicitons and thought of super explanations. Testing was much fun!
18.03.19 - Poplar Nurseries Trip! We had a wonderful day out at Poplar Nursey. Jazmine our tour took us round to show us all the varieties of seeds, bulbs, vines, trees, herbs and many of the things they sell in order to grow. We learnt so much! We then went into their secret cottage to plant our own strawberries, we have been able to bring them back to school to nurture and eat! We learnt about insect homes and life cycles too! What a lovely experience.
5.3.19 Puddle task.... How do you measure a puddle? Lots of great matehmatical thinking and language was used to explore this activity!
26.2.19 - Getting to know the artist Andy Goldsworthy. The children studied his creations and chose their own piece to replicate using materials on the school grounds. They worked beautifully in teams to reproduce some of his own pieces - adapting them according to what they could find.
26.2.19 - Introduction to our 'Growing' topic. We have planted some cress and put it in the sunlight to grow. We will be monitoring and tracking it's progress. We made perfume using petals and food flavouring. We painted still-life flowers, planted carrots in the mud, looked at the life-cycles of other animals, made playdough patterns using things that have grown around us. We are also moving our learning of capacity on to interpret the numbers and measurement on the measuring jugs.
25.2.19 - Using and applying language related to capactiy. The cup is half-full, full and empty. The bucket is nearly full of sand. The tub is full up.

We began our Chinese New Year topic on the 4.2.19 and continued into the week beginning 11.2.19. In the first week we focused on exploring the Chinese New Year zodiac story about the animals. The children retold the story and experimented with making rafts for the animals to cross the river. Mrs Wei kindly came into share her own experiences of Chinese New Year and generously gave the children a red envelope and provided some delicious food for them to try. We went on to learn the story of Nian the monster who was scared off by the colour red and loud noises. The children created their own Nians and role-played the story hiding in the village and chasing him away. We looked at maps to learn where China is and compared their New Year celebration with our own celebrations.
