This week we have been learning about the features of mountains. We have looked at how the landscape changes and how this is divided into zones - from the glacier down to the treeline and meadow. We looked at the animals and plants that are able to live at high altitudes and then with the…

We’re going on a shape hunt, we going to find some big ones, we’re not scared, what a beautiful day!!!!

What a beautiful Welly Wednesday we had searching for shapes.  Just look at how many different shapes we found.

We collected lots of sticks and twigs and had a go at making our own.  We used the words sides and corners to describe our shapes and made sure we collected the right amount that we needed.  We were super clever at remembering that we needed 4 twigs of exactly the same size to make a square and that we needed 2 long and 2 short twigs to made a rectangle.

Road safety is SO important! This week, I saw two children run across the road without looking, and one child run into the road to fetch a letter that had blown away. Luckily, there were no cars driving on the road and so nobody was harmed. If there had been cars driving along Roseberry Crescent…

Congratulations to Harry, who is thoroughly enjoying training at Middlesbrough Football Academy. We see his skills on the playground, but he is always mindful of passing the ball to his friends, or setting up goals for them! Well done, Harry!

This week we wrote letters, as Shackleton, explaining to his crew why they must split up and attempt a rescue mission. The language used was amazing!

The children created a soundtrack that captures the beauty of the Northern Lights. They considered which sounds would best paint the picture of the light’s luminescence and movement, layering sounds for effect.

During our science topic this half term, the children have been learning about how to grow and care for plants.  The children have become 'green-fingered' over the past few weeks taking turns to water the plants every day.  As you can see from the pictures, the tulip bulbs are coming on nicely. …

Colin the Chameleon

We have really enjoyed having another special visitor to our classroom.  Colin the Chameleon joined us for Phonics, he helped to give out the boards and pens and we all had a go at writing his name.  We did a fabulous job sounding out Colin.  Colin also did a fabulous…

The children were interested in robots yesterday!

Lilly picked up a box and put it on her head, she walked around the room making ‘beep pop’ sounds. Lilly noticed she needed a body, so we gathered more boxes and cut holes in the side for arms and legs. The children decorated the box…

The children are continuing to enjoy their weekly music lessons.  This half term we have been learning about Reggae music, listening to and appreciating a variety of songs and comparing them with our favourite, "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley.  We are learning two parts to play along with song…
