WEEK 3

Welcome to week three of the school year. Year 3 and up at the school, will start swimming lessons next week. Year 1/2 will begin the week after. 

If the weather is bad or it is cold, Mr Xavi will decide closer to the time whether or not the children will go swimming or have a normal P.E. lesson. 

So they will have to come with their swimming clothes each Wednesday. 

BUT NOT NEXT WEEK!!!

PSPE

Here was our provocation this week about sharing, manners, being positive and working as a team. 


We have created a set of agreements that the students decided we should try to achieve in our class. 






MATHS
This week we used computers to try to understand the role of each digit in a number. So the number 47 means that there are 4 tens and 7 ones in that number. this will be important to remember when we start to add and subtract numbers. 


We started using a computer program called "Prodigy" which will help us to learn more about the maths we are doing in class.





We also began investigating the properties of two  dimensional shapes. 


Next week we will start to learn the names of the parts of shapes such as sides vertices edges corners and faces. as we continue leaning about shapes.


Ms. Emmi's Maths group started with the week by continuing to learn more about place value by examining numbers in their common form 246 or 3,089 and expanding them to have a better understanding of how important place value is for amounts such as 200+40+6 or 3,000+80+9. 

By the end of the week, learners investigated shapes for what they have in common and what is different from each other. We have also spent time working on vocabulary associated with 2D and 3D shapes such as vertex, face and symmetry. 

Next week, we will continue with 2D and 3D shapes by venturing into the properties that shapes have such as: how many vertices does a cube have or what shape has 8 sides?








ENGLISH

We started to learn about how to remember the way words are spelt. the way we will do this is called 

"LOOK , SAY, COVER, WRITE, CHECK"


We have begun using a program called "Reading Eggs" 

which will help us to improve our phonics and reading knowledge.






Next week we will begin finding out about how a story is written and learn how to write the beginning of a story.

Unit Of Inquiry (U.O.I.)

We learned that we need to eat healthily and exercise. 

This week we thought about the need for sitting still and resting or meditating to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 



We tried some meditation exercises.



We talked about the importance of being clean and what steps we should take to make sure we are clean every day.






Next week we will learn computer words and skills so that we can begin searching for pictures on the internet. 



Here are other photos from this weeks activities and events.

 Welcome to week 1/2's blog spot for year 1/2 First up is a celebration of students doing their work and being awarded certificates for those efforts. Tone. Bowon and Euro were awarded Study Ladder certificates this week for their work about subtraction.  Well done boys!!! The Big Pencil Award A new idea is the awarding of the BIG PENCIL  At the end of the day the student, who the other class members think has tried their best throughout the learning day, will be given this award to take home and return he next day. The children are asked to consider who has been a good friend and has been helpful to any adults around the school.  The children in the class will nominate the candidates and then we will vote on who will receive the award each day! The first and second  BIG PENCIL winners, as voted by his classmates, are  Luffy and Natasha. Well done to you both  for all your efforts on Thursday and Friday.

 TEAM WORK This week and next week we are focusing on how a great team works together. Such as how we can do things to help each other and what a great team says to each other in ways of encouragement.  Last week we tried to build tall towers. This week our tall towers were built after we had our chat about what makes a team.  I am happy to tell you that we have started to help each other and work together and talk positively together. Maths   We are learning about tens and ones and what each digit means in a number. Miss Emmi's group are also investigating digits and what they mean when we see them.  English We are starting to experiment with letter names and sounds. We are starting to find ways with computers to learn our letter names and sounds. We tried doing our first writing of the year which I can use to compare how much they have improved by the end of the school year.  U.O.I. We are now aware of the reasons we try to eat healthy food....

  Welcome back ..... ........to the second half of first term. We hope you had a relaxing break and are recharged for the path to Christmas.  Please can you support your children with reading at home.  The more they read the stronger they will become.  Here at school we will endeavor to change their book when we feel they are ready to move on to  new book. Here are some works we are proud of from last term. Swimming Mr. Dave's Jellyfish Temperature Check Each day at lunchtime we check the children's temperature and get them to wash their hands as part of our covid 19 school policy.  Here are some images of that happening.  "Happy Birthday!" (ask your child what this means!) English "Reading Eggs" is helping our students to improve their reading and phonics knowledge.  As well as this, the children read to an adult at least three times a week. Maths We were revising how to add two numbers by counting on from the larger of the two numbers.  We ...
