A small school with a big vision

PLEASE HAVE PE KIT IN SCHOOL EVERYDAY.
Visits to the outdoor classroom in the woods will be a regular event this year. Year 1 and 2 will join Owls to enjoy woodland learning.
We are now in the Summer Term!
This unit started with the arrival of a parcel. We had to work out which character the objects belonged. We thought about the relationship between the main characters, Finn and his Grandpa. They loved spending time together, fishing and dreaming of adventure. Sadly Finn's grandpa has died and he is now planning an adventure of his own.
This book is beautifully illustrated and so far we have focused on writing descriptions and instructions.

Autumn Term Learning
Here is our feelings table. We put our feelings stick in the colour that matches our feeling every morning. If we have a worry we can pop it in the worry box. Our Jigsaw friends are here to help us.
In English we are using the story Cave Baby to inspire our learning. So far we have creating a cave in the classroom and decorated the walls with cave paintings! We are learning the sequence of the story, adding actions to help us learn it. In writing we have worked on creating noun phrases to describe the animals in the story.
big, brown bear
fierce, sabre-toothed tiger
hoppy, long-eared hare
spotty, cheeky hyena
huge, scruffy woolly mammoth
We are focusing on the need to remember a capital letter and a full stop in every sentence.
Nature is the inspiration for our art this half term.
We looked at shapes in nature and with a pencil created sketches of natural objects we found around the school grounds. We drew sticks, shells, pine cones and feathers. The children looked closely to observe the detail and their drawings reflect this.
