This week 30.03.2026

In English, we have continued reading Starbird. The children have been using adjectives to describe characters and settings, and have been learning how to create expanded noun phrases to make their writing more detailed and interesting. They have also been practising using their imagination to think about how the characters might feel and what the setting might look like. The children worked hard to include interesting describing words in their sentences.

In Maths, we have been learning about fractions. The children have been finding 1/2, 1/4 and 1/3 of shapes and numbers. They enjoyed using cubes to make equal groups and looking at one of those groups to help them understand fractions. We also talked about how fractions mean sharing something into equal parts and the children practised solving simple fraction problems together.

In Geography, we have been learning about jobs in the past. The children enjoyed creating job posters to show all the information they had learned about different historical jobs. They thought carefully about what people did in these jobs and how jobs have changed over time. The children were very proud to share their posters with the class.

In Science we have been continuing our new topic plant survival. We have been exploring how plants grow and what they need for them to be able to grow successfully. We will be planting our own sunflowers in the week and use our new found knowledge to help to grow our very own plants. 

We have continue our spark imagination linked learning. The children have been using creative and fun ways to further explore their learning from the week. If your child would like to bring in any recycling or art and craft things that they wouldn't mind sharing with friends, we would be really grateful. 

Thank you for your continued support and have a lovely easter. 

Miss Bird and Miss Owen!
