In maths, we have been consolidating our 3D shapes knowledge by making them using marshmallows and cocktail sticks. We realised which 2D shapes are used to create 3D shapes. How much fun we had making these safely!
We had our school pantomime today, Jack and the Beanstalk by M&M Productions. All the children had lots of fun (Oh no we didn't, oh yes we did!) and really enjoyed participating. We a great way to end our first week in December!
We are very excited about the next two weeks coming up so get lots of rest ready for the Christmas festivities to begin!

It as been new book week in English this week and we have started looking at, The Deep Dark Wood by Algy Craig Hall and Ali Pye. We wrote some fabulous predictions about what we thought was going to happen in the story (we thought it was going to be like Little Red Riding Hood, it wasn't!). We then looked at the different characters in the story and used adjectives to describe them. Look how amazing our adjectives are!
During PE on a Thursday, we have been exploring the topic hands, feet, equipment. We have been learning how to control different equipment using our hand, feet and hockey sticks. We then applied this to a game called end zones. We had to move the different balls from the opposite sides, using the techniques we have been focusing on. Look how fantastic we were and how much fun we had!
Have a lovely weekend!

In maths, we started looking at 2D shapes and their properties. Today, we went on a 2D shape hunt around the school grounds spotting the shapes, naming them and recalling their properties. We found that shapes are everywhere ...
In our history lesson this week, we looked at what Netherthong was like in the past using primary sources. We then compared them to what Netherthong looks like now and wrote the similarities and differences down on post-it notes next to the pictures.
Have a lovely weekend and hope you don't get blown away!

In English, we have been exploring the book Old Bear by Jane Hissey. This week we described the characters from the story using adjectives and then ended the week by writing a 'grrr-eat' fact file all about the history behind teddy bears.
In computing, our new topic is all about digital painting. We have been using Microsoft Paint to create self-portraits of our partners and this week, we looked at the artist Piet Mondrian and re-created his Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow. Here are some examples of our work.
In music, we have been listening to the Colonel Hathi's March from The Jungle Book. We practiced marching in time to the pulse of the music and even started to create our own music to march to. Hup, two, three, four, keep it up, two, three, four!
Have a brilliant weekend after a busy week!

Fantastic first week back!

Today, we started our DT topic, mechanisms with a focus on sliders and levers. We looked at different picture books with moving parts and to see if we could work out how the different parts moved. We then learn the different features of a sliding mechanism and proceeded to create our own. We chose a character before creating a background which matched the objects we had chose for the sliding part of our picture. Look how creative we all are!
Well done for the first week back!
