Gracious growth
In our Green Fingers topic we are learning all about plants. Last week we planted an assortment of seeds. Today we observed our plants to find that they are growing. We are thinking about how to look after them and ensure that they continue to grow healthily.
Living and Learning: I can recognise emotions in myself and others.
Today we thought about what emotions are and how we can tell what emotions others are displaying. We had a discussion about this and Lucas shared that sometimes he shows emotions without meaning to. Ellie added that she has noticed others asking if she is okay when she is sad sometimes. We discussed the idea that our emotions can be difficult to control sometimes and sometimes we may not understand them ourselves. Louie told us that when he feels emotions like anger or frustration, he would rather be left on his own to calm down. After talking as a class we had a go at drawing different emotions onto people’s faces to show what we might look like if we are tired, happy, astonished or nervous.
Living and Learning: I know about peace.
This week we thought really carefully about our living and learning statement. We were thinking about Peace. Using a dictionary, we found the definition for peace.
As a class, we decided that peace is very important-not just in the wider world but within our school as well.
Willow suggested that peace is important because we don’t want wars because people have to leave their country.
Harley then highlighted that when wars have finished people start to want peace.
Our thoughts on peace were summed up by Leah who stated that when there is peace, there is no war.
Multiplication madness
In Year 2, we have been thinking about how we can become super speedy at doing times tables facts. Here are a few games to help you become super speedy.
If you fancy a race against the clock then try Hit the Button.
If you feel like having a race then then try Grand Prix Multiplication or Times table Rally.

The ten best ways to live.
We had some special visitors in school today. A charity called Hand to Mouth came in to talk to us about an exciting story. We learnt about God’s ten best ways to live which are also called the Ten Commandments. Take a look at a few photographs from our session.
Fabulous homework
We had some brilliant homework projects this week, but there was one that stood out. One of our pupils created a masterpiece to express his talents.
He loves to play football and he likes to make models.
The attention to detail in this model was brilliant. Very well done!
Leeds Art Gallery
Year 1 and 2 have had a super exciting day today. We visited Leeds Art Gallery and we saw lots of different kinds of art. There were many artists who had a variety of skills. Leonardo Da Vinci created some amazing pieces.
- Ava shared that she loved the way he had used shading.
- Dexter explained that Leonardo’s art showing the anatomy of a human looked so realistic that it made him feel shocked.
- Mikey liked the way in which Leonardo used his maths skills when measuring up the length of a horse’s leg.
We love colours!
Look at our amazing colour mixing skills. We’ve been learning all about primary colours and the processes we can go through to make new colours. Take a look!
Living and Learning: I can say something good about myself.
The Living and Learning statement this week is ” I can say something good about myself”. During circle time the class took turns to tell Bob the Bear something good about themselves. Below are some of the things that some of the children said.
Kara shared that she tries to help people when they need help and Eliza described herself as helpful. Leah tries to help people even if they are not her friend. Mikey told us that he is nice to his sister. Daisy feels that she is good at knowing what to use to help her learn.
