Spring Term 1 - Week 1

Week 1 (A new year!)

What a fantastic week we’ve had in our classroom! In Maths, we’ve been busy naming 2D shapes and exploring their properties. We can now confidently recognise and name a square, triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, pentagon, and hexagon. We’ve also delved into the concept of vertical lines of symmetry, creating some beautiful symmetrical patterns along the way!

In English, we kicked off our new unit on letters. Excitingly, we received a letter from the famous Usain Bolt! This sparked our interest in learning how to structure a letter properly, and the children have been eager to put their new skills into practice.

In Science, we explored the fascinating differences between living, dead, and never alive things. We introduced the acronym MRS NERG, which stands for Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Nutrition, Excretion, Respiration, and Growth, to help us determine the status of various objects.

In Art, our budding artists have been learning the technique of printmaking, while in R.E., we compared objects found in a church with those in a mosque, fostering a deeper understanding of different faiths.

What a week of learning and discovery!
