Reception- Hooking into phonics!

This week the children have been practicing hearing their first set of phonemes in words s/a/t/p, fast blending the phonemes to say words and at breaking down the phonemes in a word!

We have been writing the grapheme in lots of different ways to become more confident and remember how to form the graphemes correctly!

Year 4 – Murton Park

What a fantastic day the children have had at Murton Park! We started the day with introductions before making our way to the Roman fort and getting into our Roman tunics!

We then practised some military drills with our spear and shield before moving on to the sword and javelin. We practised throwing the javelin like a Roman soldier and learnt how the Roman army would fight their enemies using their Gladius!

Lunch time back in the barracks!

In the afternoon, we got to see some real Roman weapons before working hard crafting Roman pottery. We also filled out our applications to join the Roman army using more traditional Roman lettering and numerals! What a fantastic day it has been!

Class 12: Rounding to 10

Last week in maths, we started to look at rounding to the nearest 10. The children made a great start with rounding whilst trying to complete the loop card activity. We’ll done to Carter, Isaac and Eoghan who were the first group to finish!

Crew Ambler – Geography

This afternoon, we have been researching all about physical features in Brazil and comparing them to the physical features here in the UK. I was very impressed to see the children describing physical features such as biomes, rivers, climate and vegetation from previous learning in our geography case study. Well done Crew Ambler!

Crew Spetch – working hard in maths!

On Friday afternoon, the children enjoyed working collaboratively to solve different sequences using the powers of 10,100 and 1000. It was lovely to see great communication and coaching happening!

A huge shout out to Cohen for being our postcard winner for his excellent efforts in the Green Standard maths group! Well done 🌟
