    Last week, the children had their assessments in grammar, punctuation, spelling and reading. Well done to all for their incredible efforts, and for giving it their best shot! 

    In Computing, we have started our learning of e-safety. We began discussing what we should and shouldn't share online. We also discussed how we can stay safe online. In these lessons, the children will cover what it means to be safe online, and have created some amazing posters to outline the importance of not giving out any personal information to strangers.  The children then, in pairs, completed a sheet ticking who they felt personal information should be shared with, and then we discussed as a class to see who else agreed.

     

                              

    In English, we spent some time working on our dictionary skills. As a class, we thought of some words to search for. The children were asked to find out the word class of the selected work, the definition and then find out the synonym of the word using the thesaurus. 

                                                                    

    We have been working hard on creating our draft version of our alternative version of a fairy tail story where pupils continued with the plot and how the wolf has escaped jail. Pupils used incredible adjectives, alliteration and really thought about creative ways the wolf could escape to freedom. We then edited and rewrote our story.

    In Science, geography and history, we completed an end-of-unit assessment looking at identifying keywords that we have used throughout the unit of work and completing a multiple-choice quiz. The children then shared something from each subject that they had learnt.

    In PSHE, we carried on looking at Sam and his feelings. We shared thoughts and ideas using post-it notes, writing about how other people's actions would impact Sam, and how we thought he may be feeling. We then thought about how we would make him feel if he was to begin in a classroom with us. 

    Have a great week off everyone!

    In Maths, we have been continuing our learning on place value, where we have focused on rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, learning the rules of rounding up or down.

     

    In PSHE, we looked at a letter from Sam, who had never been to school. We discussed why he might be scared to start, the responsible actions and choices we could make to help him and how he might feel once he is settled in. Pupils come up with ideas about our school values, such as diversity and celebrating everyone's differences. Pupils also shared how they would respect him and look after his wellbeing, as well as getting to know him and show him around the school. 

     

                                                                               

    In Art, we decorated our own feathers as part of a project.

    In Geography, we looked at a comparison of Kings Lynn and San Francisco and compared the physical features of both places, and how people may travel.  The children identified how King's Lynn is very flat, whereas as San Francisco has steep hills, this is why they use cable cars.

     

    We had a special visit this week from PC James Smith. In year groups, we listened to internet safety tips, and how to stay safe while online. We then had a chance to try on some of his gear!

    In English, we began looking at our success criteria to include in our independent writing.  We are continuing the story of how the wolf plans an escape from jail, and moves to a new place. The children's imaginations have truly shone through!

    In Maths, we have continued with our place value learning, where pupils have looked at ordering numbers in ascending and descending order, identifying the meaning of both words.  We then moved onto rounding numbers to the nearest 10. We used a Gattengo chart to help us identify which multiple of 10 numbers were closest. 

     

    In R. E, we continued with our learning on Sikhism, where pupils looked and learnt about the 5K's and linked these to wearing a school uniform. Pupils worked in groups to match the images to the definition of each of the 5 K's.

    In PSHE, we looked at rights and responsibilities, where we discussed a scenario and discussed the responsible, irresponsible choices, the rewards and consequences of the actions taken.

    ​In History, we looked at the Iron Age and how they lived, the jobs they had, the food they ate and what they enjoyed doing. We looked at the timing of the Iron Age being around 800 BCE.

    In science, we looked at having a balanced diet to keep healthy. Children drew the sections of the eat well plate and what our bodies need to keep strong and healthy.

    Last week we had a special visitor in the classroom. PC James Smith came to classes to talk to the children about being safe, about his uniform and about his job role within the community. The children in the class came up with questions to ask him.  This sparked our morning conversation within class about how we stayed safe over the weekend!

    In maths, we carried on with our number lines, this time, estimating on them. Children came up to use the main whiteboard and draw lines to show their estimations. 

    In History, we looked at the Stonehenge monument, we did a virtual tour looking around the monument. Through this, pupils discovered what it was used for, the types of stones that it was created from and the history behind it. Pupils had to draw their own picture of Stonehenge and label the different stones.

    In English, we have been continuing with our sentence stacking lessons based on 'The True Story of the Three Little Pigs'. This week we have focused on creating sentences with similes, using adverbial phrases, adjectives, complex sentences and onomatopoeia.

    In Geography, we looked at map scales where pupils had to then use the scale to work out the distance between 2 places on the map. 

    In R.E, we continued our learning of Sikhism and developed our knowledge of the Amrit Ceremony and the Guru who created the first celebration and what this celebration entailed.

    In maths, we took some time going over number lines and finding out what the intervals represented for each one. We used whiteboards and partner work to figure out the missing numbers from the questions on the main board.  

    In Science, we have been looking at the skeletal system, identifying the different bones in our body, understanding the importance of our bodies and how they protect some parts of our bodies.

    In geography, we began looking at grid references. Symbols were drawn, and the children identified where these were in relation to the grid points.

    In English, we have focused our learning on grammar objectives, looking at using 'an' or 'a' correctly, inverted commas, using end punctuation correctly, including full stops, exclamation marks and question marks.

    In Maths, we have been continuing our learning with place value. This week we have looked at representing numbers to 10,000, partitioning numbers and discussing various problems relating to these areas.

    We did lots of work on how we can flexibly partition the numbers in different ways, and how the same number can be added differently, but still total the same answer.

     

    In Science, we began our unit on The Human Body.

    We have been looking at involuntary muscles being the muscles that we cannot control, including our heart and voluntary muscles, the muscles that we can control.

    Pupils had to write about what a voluntary and involuntary muscle was, and then we had a class discussion on parts of the body they thought were voluntary or involuntary and why.

     

    In Geography, we looked at what a compass was and how these are used to support navigation. Pupils had to label a compass with all 8 points.

    We then looked at a map of King's Lynn. Using this compass, we identified places around us that are within the points on the compass. 

     

    In English, we have been continuing our sentence stacking lessons where we have looked at what the wolf's inner thoughts might be when he realises that he has no sugar for his cake. Pupils have had to use complex sentences to show how the wolf was walking to the straw house and repetition in sentences for effect. 

     

    In R. E. we started our learning on the following enquiry question: "Does joining the Khalsa make someone a better Sikh?" 

    The pupils discussed clubs they belong to and what it feels like to belong to a group/community. Pupils discussed what they had to do to be part of their chosen club, how they have a sense of belonging and the feelings they felt throughout, such as; proud, happy, excited, respected. Pupils had the opportunity to watch a video where a child went to a martial arts club and shared the feelings she felt before joining and when she had joined. As well as this, the child shared how they represent their club, the uniform they wear and how they feel wearing the uniform.

    We have had a busy first week back at school!!

    In Art, pupils learnt about lines and sketches. The pupils had opportunities to use different thickness pencils and create sketches using different lines.

    Pupils learnt the importance of lines and how they create sketches as well as how these can be created in a range of materials like paint, crayons, watercolours and felt tips.

     

    In Maths, we started our unit of learning on place value. This meant recognising the value of digits in numbers and using a place value chart alongside place counters and Base 10.

     

    In English, we have started our unit of writing on 'The True Story of the Three Little Pigs'.

    In our first lesson, the pupils had to think of questions to ask the wolf.  Some of the questions were how come the story had been told differently, and what actually happened at the door of the pig's house? The wolf responded with it was an accident, and he had a terrible, powerful sneeze, and would tell the real story as the lessons went on.

    As we continued with the learning, pupils have created some wonderful sentences where they have used feelings, complex sentences, adjectives, time/place adverbials and have had to remember basic punctuation (capital letters and full stops).

     

     

    In History, we have started our unit of work on the Stone Age to Iron Age, where we looked at how people lived in Britain during the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic ages. Pupils looked at what they ate in these times, the resources they had, and the discoveries made by archeologists.
