This week the children have been learning how to divide 2-digit by 1-digit numbers. They have all worked really hard using partitioning to work out the answers. Today we moved on to learning about division with remainders. We used multi link cubes to help us share our numbers and find out how many were left to make our remainder.
Continuing with our work on our topic peasants, prince and pestilence, we have been created animated cartoon style drawings of a plague doctor. Here are some pictures of our work.
In Year 1 we have been learning about animals and their homes. We then had to choose one of the homes that we would like to try and make ourselves – we chose a bird nest. We went into our outdoor area and around the path to collect the materials that we thought would be most suitable. Then we had to use those materials to construct a nest that a bird would be able to Read more
Last week we completed a Heart Smart lesson about how we don’t need to pretend to be something we’re not. We’re all amazing and unique in different ways. The children then completed a poster to show the things that make them great. We had lots of wonderful poster showing how great each and everyone is in Ash.
In Reception we have started brushing our teeth in school. We all have our own tooth brush and it is kept safe and clean so we can use it every day. We brush our teeth for 2 minutes everyday and there is a song that helps us! The song tells us how to brush our teeth and it tells us how long we have been brushing our teeth for. We also need to make sure Read more
In maths this half term we are learning to multiply a two digit by a one digit numbers using the grid method. We used place value counters to help us understand the method before we calculate the answers in our books. We worked really hard and now we feel much more confident with this method of multiplication!
This term our new topic is Scrumdiddlyumptious! We will be learning lots of new things about food and how the right amount of food from each food group can help us stay healthy! We tasted lots of different foods including cucumber, lychees, radish, pineapple, mushroom, plum, grapefruit and sugar snap peas! We all tried everything and then had to describe the taste, texture and smell of each fruit or vegetable! We had lots of fun!
As scientists, Year 6 know that they need to explore the world around them and investigate models to deepen their understanding. They did not expect, however, to be dissecting a lamb’s heart this week. The children have impressed with the knowledge they have already gained in a short space of time and used this experience to test themselves and the knowledge they have gained. After discussing how to carry out an effective dissection, the Read more
In Science, we have begun to study the features of the human heart. We have used a range of models and diagrams to help us to play a number of games to memorise and identify the features of a human heart and the flow of blood through the heart.We have played ‘Heads Up’ to show we not only know the features, but can use our speaking and listening skills to explain exactly where they are Read more
This morning, we have been working very hard in PE. It has been a long time since we have been able to do PE but luckily everyone remembered the PE rules. We all tried really hard to balance across thin benches, move in different ways and co-ordinate our arms and legs to climb up ladders and climbing frames. It was hard work! When we had finished working really hard on the big apparatus we started Read more
