Colour Hunt
Today we went on a colour hunt. Miss Smales gave us clues and we had to guess the colour. Then we had to go find a object in the classroom to match that colour.
Autumnal walks
We had a brilliant time walking around the school grounds identifying the different signs of Autumn beginning including finding leaves falling from deciduous trees.
How do you find 1, 10, 100, 1,000 more or less?
We have been using our knowledge of place value to find 1, 10, 100, 1000 more or less of numbers beyond 1000. We used place value counters when it got tricky, especially when exchanging. We hope we don't get in trouble for drawing on the tables 🙂
Ordinal number races
We have been using cars and a racetrack to learn about ordinal numbers, and have enjoyed matching the ordinal numbers to the car in each position.
All settled in
Reception have had a super first few weeks in school. They have made new friends, followed our rules and expectations and started small group time work. Well done Reception!
What do we already know about British history?
The children made timelines of all the things that I have learned in key stage one, and then they figured out where the Stone Age would go.
Alexander Calder and cave paintings
Spelling Superstars
Year 4 have been working really hard to learn their new spellings. With this partner work they challenged each other. Who knew spelling could be such good fun?

Musical role play
We had lots of fun reading our new class text and adding musical instruments to mimic the footsteps of Jim and the giant. We used drums to show the thunder of the giants footsteps and a triangle to show how light footed Jim is.
