Nursery
Over the past half term the children in nursery have been learning all about the world in which we live. They have learnt about continents such as Asia and Africa and also about places closer to home such as London and Cornwall. We have been busy trying new foods, creating African music, baking scones and learning all about the 'man engine'.
Reception
Reception have been enjoying their topic 'Big Wide World!' They have created artwork inspired by traditional African fabric patterns, learnt about Lunar New Year, walked in the St Piran's Day parade and explored Arctic environments! In Maths, we have been learning about number bonds to 10, and consolidating our knowledge of shape. In Literacy, we have been working on writing independently using our knowledge from phonics. The children have enjoyed developing their gross motor skills through sessions on the bike track. We are looking forward to our next topic 'Food Glorious Food!' after the Easter holiday!
Year 1
Year 1 have had a great half-term! In maths we have been learning the place value of numbers to 100 and have been counting and grouping in tens. In English we have been looking at Aesop's fable 'The contest between the sun and the wind' and creating our own versions of the story. In geography we have been looking at the seasons and how the weather changes, and in science we have been learning about plants. We have been labelling the parts of plants, planting seeds and researching which plants we can eat. We visited Woodland Valley Farm and had a great day learning about where our food comes from and how we can help by looking after our environment.
