WC 28.04.25

What a lovely week back! In mantle, the team have discovered the troll is missing from under the bridge and made wanted posters to place around the village! Please see our mantle page to learn more about this.

In literacy, the children have continued their troll hunt; going through a big, dark forest and a narrow, gloomy cave. They have written sentences to describe the sounds of different animals in the forest, as well as how the cave made them feel. They have also been practicing the formation of capital letters, I, L, T, E, F and H.

In maths, the children have practiced building numbers to 20 and recognising patterns within the number system. They have used numicon, cubes, representation cards and number lines to practice counting and composing numbers to 20 in different ways.

They have loved painting the clay troll heads they made before the easter holidays and they look amazing!

This week the team have followed some muddy footprints through the deep dark forest... Please see our mantle page to see what we discovered!

In literacy this week the children have been writing simple sentences and some have been extending their sentences using the word 'and'.

In maths, the children have continued their work with numbers to 20 by recognising verbal counting patterns through the game 'I count, you count'. They have also practiced their recall of doubles and subitising (recognising without counting) numbers using 5 and 10 frames.

For music this week, the children have been creating their own instruments using junk modelling materials. They made a selection of instruments such as shakers, drums and guitars! They look amazing and they are very excited to play these in their own class performance in the coming weeks!

The children also loved learning about the importance of VE day and celebrating with a whole school dance and picnic towards the end of the week. They even made their own flags to wave!
