Art and plants

This week we have been continuing with our plants topic. We have been experimenting with different sorts of art materials and have really enjoyed using the brusho and powder paints.

In maths this week we have been investigating different ways to make 10 and the children learnt a song to help them remember these number facts. In Literacy we write a sentence about something we are proud of. We also acted out the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and learnt a song called Hello Mr Sun.

We also had a visit from Mrs Roberts on Friday who has been going in to all the classes in the school to look at children's writing. Mrs Roberts was extremely impressed by YR's writing and how much improvement she could see from the beginning of the year. So a big well done YR and keep up the good work - your teachers are very proud of you!

Have a great bank holiday weekend.

Plants and flowers

YR made a great start to the new term. Our new topic is plants and our teachers have been really impressed with some of the holiday homework that children have been bringing in to share. This week we went on a Spring walk around the school grounds to see what has been growing and changing since we were last at school.
On Monday afternoon we did a lot of planting to cheer up the area behind our classroom. We also planted some bean seeds and have been very excited to see the changes already happening.

This week we have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk and some of the children have enjoyed acting out the story. In maths we have been buying things from the garden centre in the classroom using 1ps.

Hope everyone has a sunny weekend.

Easter

YR have had lots of visitors this week. On Monday Rudy and Domi's parents brought in one of their scooters. The children had a great time asking lots of questions and trying the scooter for size. Wednesday was the Easter bonnet parade. The bonnets were fantastic and we were amazed at the fantastic turnout of parents and other relatives who came to watch. Congratulations to Emily, Rudy, Isobel and Finn, the winners of the competition and a big thank you to everyone for their support with this event. The last day of term brought another visitor from the Welsh Birds of Prey centre. The children all really enjoyed seeing the birds and learning about them. Two very brave children had a go at holding the biggest bird, the Eurasian Owl.

We have had another very busy but enjoyable term and are looking forward to the next one when we will be learning about Plants.

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter holiday.
