Our Learning Week ending 1st Feb

We have had a busy week, with the added bonus of a day off for pupils!

Maths:
This week p4/5 have been multiplying tens and units and have made lots
of progress. P3 have been learning the x3 table.
Here are some websites you might like to try to help you learn your tables.
As someone once said ' Not knowing your tables is like trying to run before
you can walk in maths'.

Pledge Tree:
This week we finally got our eco-pledges made. Each child signed
their leaf before placing  it on the tree and sharing their pledge with the
others.

 Here is E, pledging to buy local produce.

Writing:
We wrote list poems this week, firstly one called 'Thanksgiving'
in which we wrote about all the things we were thankful for. Ideas
that came up were:  Mum, Dad, football, chocolate, friends etc;
quite a mixture!

On the Trail:
On the Trail this week we had children getting lost and
a baby being born- named Rosie Hixon! It was a shame that some of us didn't
take a risk and try and cross the Ayers natural bridge as we
could have come upon  some delicious berries which we could
have feasted upon! Oh dear, we suppose that's how it goes sometimes!

Reading/ Science:
As some of the class are doing a book study of 'The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark'
we had RSPB field teacher Lindsey Taylor come into school to do a session about
owl pellets. It was fascinating to dissect the regurgitated pellets and discover the bones and
fur of small mammals!  We also got to make a clay owl, great fun!

Thank you Miss Taylor!
