A Weekend Wonder:

If you fancy a challenge this weekend, why not make your own healthy snack! This could be a photo, a drawing or a model of your healthy snack. Don’t forget you can upload your pictures to the Teams assignment or bring it in ready for show and tell on Monday!

It has been a lovely week in Kingfishers. This week Year 2 completed their SATs and we are very proud of every single one of them. Well done Year 2!

In phonics this week:

Year 1 have been looking at alternative phonemes for y, ou and ea.

Year 2 have been exploring homophones and adding the suffixes -ing/-ed to cvc and ccvc words.

This week we have continued our journey to explore traditional tales. We have focused on applying our knowledge of the features and began to plan how we will create our own traditional tale with a twist.

We have been continuing to explore fractions in Maths and discovering how to find a quarter of objects, shapes and quantities and comparing halves and quarters. Next week we will be continuing with fractions and exploring how to find unit and non-unit fractions.

We sorted a range of animals into different animal groups in Science and discussed why that animal belongs to that group. Why does a dolphin belong to the mammal animal group?

In RE, we listened to the story A Baby in a Basket. We discussed what happened in the story and why it is an important story for Christians and Jews to retell for many years. Here is our floor book from this week:

In Topic this week we learnt more about Victorian schools. We learnt about the very strict class rules, how they wrote lines as punishment and how they had to sit and just write over and over until they had what ever they were learning correct. The children were horrified we even had a ‘dunce’ in our class (It was totally set up and the child was fantastic in playing along). The title of our blog links to this week’s lesson when we learnt how boys and girls often did things separately and we even walked into class in a boys line and a girls line. After our lessons we agreed that we are happier being at school nowadays compared to Victorian times.
