World Book Day 2025

The Howard had a little lamb!
Today we were lucky enough to have a one week old lamb visit us. The children fed the lamb her milk, stroked her curly woolly coat and asked great questions. Thank you so much to Mrs Britland for arranging to bring her in. What a Friday afternoon treat!
Getting practical in maths
We explored division and exchanging today for the first time using place value grids and counters. We confidently grasped dividing into equal groups and exchanging practically.
How do our teeth work?
This week in science we tasted different foods including crusty bread, apples, grapes and sweets to see which teeth we used. We used scientific language to label each type of tooth and then made play doh models of the different types.

Creating a replica digestive system
This week, in science, class 2 have created a model of the digestive system. They used a range of materials to recreate what happens to our food when it enters our body and then used scientific language to explain the process. A messy but fun way to kick of our new unit.
Spring is here!
Class 1 have enjoyed the spring weather today with lots of outdoor learning through play. They have also enjoyed learning about farms and farm animals.
What should we wear today?
Today in maths we explored correspondence problems. We completed practical activities to calculate the maths behind combinations of snacks and drinks, gloves and hats or ice cream and toppings. Lots of maths and lots of fun!
