Our Learning This Week

It has been a busy week in Yellow class with lots of brilliant learning taking place.

In English, we have been reading The Suitcase by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros, Rabbityness by Jo Empson and The Visitor by Anje Damm. The stories are all on the theme of feelings and the children have enjoyed comparing them. In our writing, we have been busy writing invitations and have thought of questions to ask some of the characters that we have met.

In Maths, we have been learning about Place Value. Year 1 have been investigating numbers to twenty, matching the numerals with the number words and also representing numbers in different ways using counters. Year 2 have been looking at numbers to 100, representing the numbers using Base Ten equipment (Tens and Ones) and learning to use number words as well as numerals.

Our presentation about our visit to the Hindu Temple

Following their visit on Monday to the Hindu Temple, Red Class created a wonderful presentation to share with Yellow Class as we have been learning about special places in R.E. Yellow Class listened intently as every child in Red Class stood up to speak, sharing all that they had learnt on their visit. We were so impressed and the children asked some great questions which Red Class were able to answer with confidence.
