What an exciting and productive half-term it’s been in Beech Class! The children have worked incredibly hard and made fantastic progress across all areas of learning.
A highlight of this week was the children’s performance of Walking My Iguana. The children not only memorised the poem beautifully but also delivered it with expression and enthusiasm. Their performance was truly impressive!
In Maths, our Year 1 children have been focusing on the concept of equality, using balance scales to explore making equal numbers. They’ve enjoyed hands-on activities to develop their understanding of this important concept. Meanwhile, our Year 2 children have been working on partitioning two-digit numbers to help them add more efficiently. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow with these skills.
In English, the Year 2 children have been getting creative with their writing, composing detailed instructions for making pond weed sandwiches. They used expanded noun phrases to make their writing clear and descriptive. The Year 1 children have been busy coming up with thoughtful questions for the Gingerbread Man, sparking some great discussions in class!
Golden Morning has also been a big hit this week. The children have loved participating in a variety of activities, from circus skills to sewing, allowing them to explore their creativity and learn new skills in a fun and relaxed environment.
As we head into the half-term break, I want to remind everyone of the importance of continuing to read regularly. Keeping up with reading over the break will help maintain all the progress they’ve made this term and keep their love of books alive!
Thank you all for your continued support, and we look forward to another fantastic half-term after the break.
Have a wonderful and restful half-term!
