Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Oh no! No children came to solve Mrs R's word problem. 😢
Let's try another...

Birds’ Eggs 
You will need some counters (you could use pieces of pasta)

Three birds laid some eggs. 
Each bird laid an odd number of eggs. 
Altogether they laid 19 eggs. 
How many eggs did each bird lay? 
Find different ways to do it.

Your child could record their answers in their home learning books. 


This week we have begun to look at the origins of Easter. We have talked about the religious and non-religious elements of the festival. The children have listened to different versions the bible story about the passion of Jesus Christ. They have begun to consider the big concepts that the story makes us all think about.

Here are some ideas for your home learning during the holidays...

• ask an adult to help you follow a recipe and weigh some ingredients
• design and make some Easter cards to send to your friends and family
• read a book by an author who you haven't read before
• write the Easter story 
• write a story about the Easter bunny and his or her adventures
• write some Maths word problems for others to solve 
• Purple Mash or Education City

We are looking forward to seeing some of you at the open morning on last day of term.
(Wednesday 28th March)

Wishing you a happy and healthy Easter break, Mrs R & Mr Wh

Let's big up the blog!

Let's big up the blog! 

We are trying to get you and your children engage with the blog. If you have any helpful suggestions or comments then please let Mrs R or Mr Wh know.

Our first idea is... an embarrassing photo of Mrs R... 😀

1. Can your child think of the whole calculation that matches this word problem?
    Which operation do you need to use?        x   ÷   +   -

2. Come and find one of us to tell us the calculation and the answer! Special stickers will be awarded!


3. A bonus point if you suggest names for the five imaginary cats.
    (Can you write a sentence using a list with commas?)

What have we been up to?


Dance with Bryony
We have been practising our dances with Bryony and enjoying the challenging of tutting. (Ask your child to show you!)


Music
Did you enjoy coming into school on Tuesday when the music was on?
Year Two have been learning the songs ready for The Big Sing.
we have learnt to sing and sign: Build It High

Mrs R's favourite is Rockstar by A Great Big World. What's yours?

Why not visit this website for more information: Norfolk Music Hub
Enter the password: singup
Then you'll be able to access the backing tracks and lyrics.


English
We have been drafting and editing our own versions of the fable The Tortoise and The Hare. If you would like to, why not write your own version of the story with different creatures e.g. The Sea Snail and The Dolphin?


Maths
We have been developing our problem solving skills in class by using taught strategies e.g. how do we solve a calculation that has this sign:  x What does it mean? How can we draw or jot to find an answer?



Finally, a note for the children...

Please don't forget to:

•  make good choices for your adults
•  ask your adult politely to check that you have spare clothes at school that fit
•  double check that you have a PE kit at school
•  read regularly at home
•  have a go on Education City or Purple Mash
•  go to bed and get lots of sleep so you are ready for action each day
•  answer Mrs R's word problem!

"Ground Control to Major Jon."

"Ground Control to Major Jon."

Hello everyone, Commander Rayfield here.
Recently we have begun some work inspired by Harey McHairy. (This is our leveret that will be part of the GoGo Hares 2018!)  We have been looking at various examples of hares in different types of art and using these as inspiration for our own.

In English we have been learning about the fable of The Tortoise and The Hare. Why not ask your child if they can remember the moral (lesson) from the story?

In Maths we have been learning how to solve word problems and explain our ideas and reasoning.
