This week we have been planning and writing letters to our new teachers. We have written about our interests at school and at home. The children have worked so hard, their handwriting has been beautiful.

Maths 

In maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of money, we opened the Team JF shop and bought lots of items, we started by paying with the correct amount and then we moved onto paying with £1 and giving change. They were amazing at this, well done Team JF.

Art

In art we looked at some of the photo's from our school trip to Cleethorpes to jog our memories. We then thought about what we enjoyed the most and started to draw this in lots of detail. The art work we produced was brilliant, we even won awards in assembly for our art work. Well done!

PE

This week in PE, we have worked really hard. We have been practicing for sports day on the 10th July. The children have had so much fun and have been brilliant at cheering our team members on. GO TEAM!

Science

In science we have been exploring where plants would grow best, the field or the nature reserve, after looking we decided the field was the best place. We have then looked at micro habitats and designed some our selves.

To begin with we walked along the sea front to spot as many different plants and animals as we could. From this, we went onto the beach to collect and observe the shells. The children were absolutely incredible and of course we had to make time for some fun on the sand too! 

After lunch, we continued walking to explore our surroundings and as the sun made an appearance, we just had to stop for a tasty ice cream! 

The children were a true credit to Park Street. They listened to all instructions, carried out them out sensibly and stayed together as a team. I was so proud of them, what little superstars!

This week Team JF have been exploring mass. To begin with, we focused on grams. We found out the mass of classroom objects using the balance scales and weights. As the week progressed , we moved into kg. Finally, we compared the two measurements focusing on heavier and lighter.

Literacy

This week Team JF have been busy consolidating a range of skills. To begin with we focused on using apostrophes of possession. Then we moved onto homophones. The children have been amazing!

Science

This week Team JF have continued exploring living things and their habitats. We focused our learning around things that are living, dead and never been alive. As we understood the characteristics of each, we were able to categorise a range of things.

We looked at interpreting data, we started looking at tally's then we moved on to block diagrams we then finished the week with pictograms. Team JF were fantastic at this and everyday completed some  challenges.

Literacy
We loved Esio Trot so much that we thought we could write our own adventure story from Alfie's perspective. We looked back at our plans and started to write an opening, build-up, dilemma, resolution and a closing. The children worked so hard on these, they are fantastic!

Science
We looked at exploring waterproof materials, to do this we completed an experiment as part of this half terms enquiry focus, a fair test. The children were really confident in measuring out the same amount of liquid, to make it as fair as possible on each material.  

]]><![CDATA[A busy week in JF!]]>Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:30:31 GMThttps://www.wombwellparkstreet.co.uk/team-jf-blog-2023-24/a-busy-week-in-jfScience

This week Team JF have been busy exploring animal groups. Our focus was on reptiles and birds! We first explored characteristics of each group before moving into comparisons of the two. The children really enjoyed this and were very interested in finding out more! 

Computing

This week Team JF started a new unit of learning, digital music. To begin with, we listened to a range of music and discussed what we could hear. From this, we had lots of discussion about our likes and dislikes of each piece. From this, we started to think about the type of music we would like to compose. 

PE

This week Team JF started a new unit of learning. To begin with, we practiced a variety of poses to take weight on our hands. These included; front support position, back support position and holding these poses. From this, we worked with a partner to complete partner sit ups and up and over together. 

Art

This week we started our new topic of 'Life at the Seaside'. The children completed some amazing pieces of artwork in line with this theme. They chose a seaside image to sketch themselves. Each piece was amazing and we even have some on our new display already!
]]><![CDATA[WELCOME BACK]]>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 07:43:11 GMThttps://www.wombwellparkstreet.co.uk/team-jf-blog-2023-24/welcome-backWelcome back, how is it the last term already! Team JF have had an amazing start to this week and have been busy with all sorts of new learning!

Maths

This week, Team JF have started a new unit, time. To begin with, we spoke about what time meant and gave lots of examples. From this, we started to explore the 12 hour clock. The children have worked incredibly hard practicing o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to! 

Literacy

This week, we have started reading a new, exciting book- Esio Trot! The children are really enjoying the humour within this story and are desperate to find out what happens to Mr Hoppy and Mrs Silver! As we discussed this book, we found the riddles within entertaining and decided we would have a go at writing our very own! From this, we started to build our skills and knowledge by finding features of riddles and exploring rhyming couplets.

This week, the children have worked hard to consolidate and apply their knowledge of the four operations. We started off by recapping our knowledge of addition and subtraction using the column method. From this, we moved into applying our skills when solving worded problems! As the week progressed, we moved into the same process but using multiplication and division. 

Literacy

This week, Team JF started a new unit of learning! We started by reading the non fiction book 'The Big Book of the Blue'. This is a fantastic book providing lots of interesting facts about sea creatures. From this, we decided we loved exploring life under the sea and we would like to teach some of the younger children of CH too! We then started to look at features of non fiction texts and begin our skill building in preparation for our writing! 

Science

We kicked off a new half term by focusing on our enquiry focus, observation over time.  We worked in small groups to plant some cress seeds and place them in different positions and conditions around the classroom. We decided to test cress with water and sunlight, with sunlight but no water, with no light and water and finally, with no light or water. We will check in again next week to observe the changes we see! ]]><![CDATA[The Great Fire of London]]>Wed, 21 Feb 2024 08:29:02 GMThttps://www.wombwellparkstreet.co.uk/team-jf-blog-2023-24/the-great-fire-of-londonAs part of our history learning, Team JF had the exciting opportunity of experiencing a 'Great Fire of London' workshop. The day started in the hall as we interactively explored the timeline of events. From this, we split onto groups to complete a carousel of activities. These included games, quizzes and even had the chance to re-enact life during this time! The children thoroughly enjoyed the day, made some great memories and enhanced their knowledge of this time! The gentleman was also VERY complimentary of their behaviour too! Well done Team JF!

Maths

Team JF have started a new unit of learning, multiplication. To begin with, we explored equal and unequal groups. The children worked really hard to identify what they are and how they could prove a group was equal or not. From this, we explored arrays, doubles and odd an even numbers. We spoke of how this knowledge and these skills would help us as we move into counting in our 2's, 5's and 10's. 

Literacy

This week, Team JF have also started a new unit of learning based around our new book 'The Lost Happy Endings'. We have listened to the book numerous times and had the opportunity to discuss the themes, characters, and even take on the role of Jubb as part of a 'hot seating' task!

Computing 

This week, the children started their new unit of learning. To begin with, we spoke about the app Scratch and the sprite. From this, we watched the tutorial of how to use the app and worked together as a whole on the main computer to navigate the app. We spoke of the different commands and how we could program the sprite to move and follow our commands. After lots of modelling, the children were given the freedom to explore the app for themselves.
