Home learning - you are superstars!! :D

 

Key Driver: Geography

Key Concepts: Empathetic understanding, interpretation, equality and problem solving.

This term our project question is: "How are we grateful for others?". We will be delving into the world of 'Traditional Tales' - The Gingerbread Man, Jack and The Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. After this we will be looking into the topic of 'Transport'. Our project question will lend us to think about what other people do for us both in and outside of our community, how do we show we appreciate and are grateful for them? 

 

Key Driver: History

Key Concepts: Empathetic understanding, interpretation, and equality.

This term our project question is: "What exactly makes you, you?". We will be exploring who we are as individuals, who our families are and how we have all changed from birth till now and the changes that have happened. We will be taking part in activities such as creating self portraits, comparing photographs and identifying how each person is different and what makes us who we are.

We had the best day watching the Pantomime and eating ice creams during the interval! We had Christmas jumper day! We love using chalk to mark make in the outdoor area!

We became Architects - like the Grandma in our focus story! We used open-ended resources to create, design and build our ideas!

WC 16th November

The 'Building Boy' has given us some great building inspiration! We have been looking into our curiosity box this week...what can we see? using our ideas and building our own things has been fun! Wow - look at our amazing writing! We chose our favourite part of the story, which was 'The Building Boy' We used our phoneme mats to help us use sound out words. We even drew amazing pictures to support ou writing! This was so much fun - green water slime and using it to draw and write!

WC 9th November

Week commencing 28th September

Putting the Funny Bones character back together... We could identify the different body parts of the skeleton and compare it to ours! How are we similar to the Funny Bones characters? In Maths we were comparing amounts this week!

Week commencing 21st September

We looked after our class pets; Giant African Land Snails! We cleaned them, bathed them and spoke to them! We have been practising our name writing, have we formed our letters correctly? We have been learning about 'Owl Babies' and been retelling it in our own ways! In Forest Schools we got super messy, We have innovated the story of 'Owl Babies' to 'Cat Babies' - we had some brilliant ideas! We wrote up our innovated story of 'Cat Babies'

Week commencing 14th September

F2 have loved learning our focus story 'Owl Babies' in our Literacy lessons. They have been introduced to a new tool which is a story map and have even followed this story map to perform the story of 'Owl Babies'. Following this, F2 have learnt a new skill called 'Innovating', which means to change. They decided to innovate the story of 'Owl Babies' to the story of 'Cat Babies'. 

 

F2 have blown me away with their understanding of 'matching' in maths. Not only are they confident in matching different objects/pictures, but they are also able to explain very clearly why two things match, why they don't match and how you could change the objects/pictures to make them match. We followed the story of 'Monkey Puzzle' to understand the term 'matching' and F2 loved following this story by playing a game of snap! 

 

Look back with pride and forward with confidence
