The children were set a design brief to design and make bunting that would help young children learn to count. The children looked at different designs, then designed their own. They had great fun choosing colours, beads and sewing their bunting.

Our Reception children have been exploring making repeating patterns with different things. They have also had a fabulous time in our cafe.

Our year 1 children have being sorting shapes according to their properties into Venn Diagrams. The year 2 children have been exploring which shapes tessellate.

We have been doing PE outside while it is still fine. The children have been developing their moving, throwing and catching skills. This is something that you could continue to work on at home.

We had great fun today exploring how cornflour slime behaves and changes. The children were amazed to see the different things the cornflour could do.

The year 1 children have been using cubes to find pairs that make 10. They then found the matching number sentence or tried to write the number sentence.

We are learning all about the Gunpowder Plot. The children pretended to be the plotters and thought about what they might say to each other. They enjoyed acting it out for the rest of us.

The children in year 1 have been busy in maths, they showed off their ability to order numbers to 20. Then work out which number had been removed.
