Our Class Learning
The children have enjoyed another fantastic week at school which began with the invasion of the evil peas into our classroom. We found the evil peas hiding all over our classroom and we had to use positional language to find them, such as on top of, behind, above, next to, near to, under and in front of.
All of the children and the staff really enjoyed our Learning Together session on Wednesday and may I take this opportunity to thank all of you who came to attend with your child.
The children had great fun making models of the evil peas using potatoes, paint and collage materials. They created fantastic collage pictures of Supertato using different techniques and they also showed confidence using the knives to prepare some vegetables to taste in the dips on the snack table.


We have been really busy in Literacy this week! We have been making wanted posters and learning how to use describing words to describe the evil pea. The children then wrote simple sentences using these adjectives in their writing. These are displayed in our classroom and they are super!
We also used time connectives to write our own Supertato stories. We used a story board to draw the beginning, middle and ending of our stories. We then wrote sentences using the time connectives, ‘One day, suddenly, next, then, finally.
We have also been learning how to use the glue word ‘and’ to make our sentences longer and to read our sentences to check that they make sense!
In R.E we have learnt about the prophet Muhammad
Next week we shall be learning about doubling, halving and sharing. We will be learning how to use the numicon to halve a number and we will also be making a superhero snack by doubling the ingredients! We shall be learning how to share objects into equal groups.
