Week Ending 27th September 2013

This week in maths we have been learning about money and time. During our money lessons we have practiced adding together different amounts of money using pretend plastic money to help us. We have looked at the value of different coins, and practiced paying for different items in ‘Robins’ Shop’. In our time lessons we have practiced telling the time to o’clock and half past. The Year 2’s have also looked at telling the time on digital clocks. 

In our literacy lessons we have been practicing writing lists and labels, talking about our favorite clothes. We have written fantasy shopping lists and labels describing our favourite clothes.

In science we have continued our learning about life cycles – this week we learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, and created our own drawings of that life cycle.

In our topic lessons we have continued our learning about our neighbourhood and community by  designing a new amenity for Ilam – we have had some fantastic ideas from sweet shops up treehouses to a slide around the school! We have also designed posters to tell cars to slow down outside school.

As promised on last weeks Blog, below are photographs of our classroom displays. We have worked hard doing lots of art, geography and writing to go on the displays. We hope you like the results!

Week Ending 20th September 2013

We have had another jam packed week in Robins Class. In maths this week we have learned and practiced our number bonds to 10 and 20. In literacy we have practiced sentence writing, remembering full stops and capital letters in the right places. Once again, Monday was PE day, and although it rained we still really enjoyed all the games and activities. Also on Monday we learned about what a community is and prepared for our walk around the village by thinking of some questions we wanted to find the answers to. On Tuesday we had show and tell, and as always we had lots of interesting things to look at and find out about. We also had our weekly swimming lesson – all the Robins loved floating on their backs like starfish! On Wednesday we had a walk around the village with clipboards looking for the answers to our questions from Monday. Some photos of our walk are below. In the afternoon we had a talk from a visitor about disability. We learned that some people need equipment to help them do everyday activities like climbing the stairs. Thursday we had an interesting science lesson about the life cycle of a frog, and then we made our own tadpoles/frogs using paper and split pins. Today we have completed our family tree display using homework from the past two weeks. A photo of the display will be on next weeks blog.

Working hard thinking of attractive and unattractive things in the village. Not many children could think of unattractive things!

Week Ending 13th September 2013

Last week we made sunflowers – for the stalks we wrapped wool around art straws, for the petals and leaves we cut out coloured paper. On Monday morning Robins Class did PE with Stoke City. We played Volcanoes and Craters and Guards. It was lots of fun. We are looking forward to next weeks lesson. On Monday afternoon Max, Harry, Joe and Sam went to Stoke City football club after school, they really enjoyed it. On Tuesday Robins Class went swimming, most of the children splashed the teacher! We all liked jumping in the pool. Alastair watched because he wasn’t feeling very well. On Wednesday we did science. We are learning about families and neighbours. On Thursday we had a music lesson. We have had a good week. We are all looking forward to next week!Image

First Blog – September 2013

For the start of the new academic year, Robins Class are going to be completing a blog together to share our learning journey. We will upload photos of what we have been doing in class along with some writing. I hope that by creating this blog we can create a lasting picture of what we have achieved throughout the year together, and share these memories with others.  Image
