Light
In science we have been learning about light. We have discovered that our eyes are not light sources so without light we wouldn’t be able to see. We tested this by covering our eyes with a black hat. We couldn’t see a thing!
We then looked at reflective surfaces. We came to the conclusion…
Show and Tell Stars!
Today in Class One, we had a Show and Tell circle time!
The children each brought a special item from home and took it in turns to share why it was important to them. They spoke confidently to their friends and listened carefully as others spoke, asking brilliant questions and giving thoughtful…
Easter Service
Our Easter Service this year was written, directed and produced by the children in Class Three
Fishy Friends and Fair Shares!
This week in EYFS, we explored sharing and grouping in our maths lessons.
The children had a very exciting challenge: they had to share out scales equally onto fish and find out how many groups they could make!
We talked about making sure each fish had the same number of scales and worked…
Smile Bright with Charlie the Crocodile!
Today, Class One had a very exciting visit from the nurse team - and a very special guest, Charlie the Crocodile!
They talked to us about how to look after our teeth and make healthy food choices. We learned which foods help keep our teeth strong and which ones we should only have as special…
Planting Sunflowers.
We have had great fun planting sunflower seeds. We have been learning about what plants need to stay healthy as part of our science topic, so we are going use what we have learnt to look after our sunflowers and hopefully watch them grow. I wonder whose will grow the tallest?
Window by Jeannie Baker
In English we have been learning about how our world is changing through reading the book ‘Window’ by Jeannie Baker. This made us consider changes that are happening to the environment in our local area. We have discovered that since 2020, 1000 houses have been built in Tamworth and many…
Our Daily Mile Investigation
As part of Class One’s health and life cycles science unit, we have been investigating how results can change over time. The children took part in the Daily Mile every afternoon for the week, running, jogging or walking around the field for five minutes each day. Each time, they carefully recorded…
How Much Can It Hold? Exploring Capacity in EYFS
This week in maths, our EYFS children have been busy exploring capacity! They investigated how much different containers could hold by filling them with bears, dice, letters and cubes. The children made predictions about which containers had the greatest capacity and tested their ideas by…
Irreversible Changes-solutions
For this experiment we used baking soda and vinegar to create an irreversible change. We used differing amounts to see how much CO2 was created by the reaction by capturing the gas in a balloon and then measuring.
Hot Cross Buns and Easter Gardens!
This week in RE, the children in Class One explored the meaning of Easter and why the cross was placed in the garden.
We began our lesson by tasting a traditional Easter treat - hot cross buns! The children sampled different varieties, noticing the sweetness of the bread, the fruity pieces and…
Exploring Mass in EYFS: Heavy or Light?
This week in maths, our EYFS children have been busy investigating mass! The children explored objects around the classroom, estimating which were heavier or lighter. To test their ideas, they became human balance scales, holding an object in each hand to see which felt heavier. We then used real…
