  Friday 28th June



This week we had a super trip to Meadowside Park.  We followed our maps to get to the park.  At the park, as part of our science learning,  we explored pushes and pulls to make the equipment move. For Geography we discussed whether the park was a good place to visit in every season and how it could be made even better.  Thank you to all the adults who accompanied us.
Phonics
In phonics this week we have learnt to add "er" and "est" suffixes to adjectives to help us to make comparisons. 
We also learnt to add the "un" prefix to words to change their meaning.



Maths
In Maths we have been solving problems involving multiplication facts for 2, 5 and 10. 


We used pictures, arrays and repeated addition to record our calculations.

We also solved problems involving division.

You may also like to tell the time on an analogue clock (o'clock and half past) in readiness for our maths next week!

We will not be taking in reading from now on. Please continue to read with your child at home using Bug club and paper books.
Please return all library books as the library is now closed.

 Friday 24th January This week at school we had a fantastic visit from Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.  We learnt about the job of a firefighter. We learnt how to check our smoke alarms were working. We were set the challenge to find the smoke alarms in our house and to ask our adults to check them once a week.  We learnt how to make a 999 call.  You might like to ask your child to practise their address as many did not know their house number or name of their road when role playing this activity. English and History This week in English we have written simple recounts of the events of the Great fire of London and made our own non-fiction fact books about the Great Fire. We were really proud of the way the children wrote simple sentences with straightforward subject/verb agreement. You might like to play the game below to explore what happened during the Great Fire of London. Fire of London game Computing In computing this week we used "Paint".  We learnt to ...
