Summer Term 1 - Week 1

Summer Term 1 - Week 1

Welcome back! I hope you all had a restful break. We are now in the first Summer term of the year. This term our topic is called Green Fingers and will be focusing on learning about plants and how to look after Planet Earth.

In English, the Year 2s have been learning about the features of a traditional tale and we have been reading the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Year 1s have been working on their sentence structure and practising writing sentences. 

In Maths, Year 1s have been learning to use balance scales and Year 2s have been learning to use tally marks and recording data in pictograms.

In Art we looked at the art work of the sculptor David Best and were amazed at how intricate and ornate his temples were. We were shocked to find out that his sculptures are created to then be burnt in the American festival, Burning Man. After observing his works, we had a go at designing our own temples of dreams, hope, tears or joy. 

In Science we learnt about the basic structure of a plant.

This week we visited the Maidstone Islamic Centre.  It was a lovely trip and the children behaved very respectfully whilst we got to look around the mosque. Please check our Teams page for photos.
