Tamworth football club visit Elford!
Today we had a fantastic PE session delivered by Ethan from Tamworth Football club. It was a fantastic opportunity for our children and we know he was impressed with our developing skills. We can’t wait to go to The Lamb in a few weeks!
Debug and code
Class 2 have been working hard debugging codes and creating codes to write letters. It took resilience and metacognition to be successful. Well done everyone!
What shape it is?
Year 1 have spent some time with Mr Wynn thinking about what they already know about shapes? They explored the 2D and 3D shapes together and collated their knowledge. A great metacognition lesson. Well done year 1!
Frosty, frozen fun!
Reception have had fun exploring ice. During their science lesson, creepy crawlies were frozen due to the cold weather. How could Reception set them free?
Class 1 forest school stay and play
Class 1 had some special visitors today in their forest school session. They thoroughly enjoyed showing their grown ups how they use the forest school and exploring pumpkin related activities inspired by our English story ‘Pumpkin soup’!
Thank you to Mrs Carter and Mrs Blakeman for setting up…
A special visitor
Year 1 and 2 children have been learning about animals and their habitats. One of our children very kindly brought in his hedgehog! This really helped bring our learning to life as we spoke about where a hedgehog would usually be found, why alit lived there, how it would be adapted to live there…
Exploring the natural world
Reception have had lots of fun exploring the natural world around them. This week they looked at spiders and their webs. They then had a great time creating a spider web and trying to catch as many insects as possible. Super job everyone!
Microhabitats and minibeasts
Key stage 1 have had lots of fun exploring microhabitats and finding out which minibeasts live in them.
A work in progress
Class 2 are busy starting their final projects in DT. Today they drew their design onto their canvas and started to paint. We can’t wait to see their designs come to life!
Which habitat is my animal best suited to and why?
Year one and two have been learning about biomes. They have spent two weeks exploring three biomes (rainforest, desert and tundra) and the animals that can live there. This week they wrote about how their animal was adapted to its habitat. Great learning everyone!
Fighting fit firefighters
In science, Reception have been looking at people who help us. This week they have looked at the brave job of a firefighter. They learnt that firefighters have to be fit and created some exercises that firefighters might do to help them stay fit and healthy.
Greater than, less than or equal to
Year 1 have continued their place value unit in maths by thinking about comparing numbers. They have used the terms greater than, less than and equal to as well as using the correct symbols to show this. Well done children.
