This week we have been learning about ‘under the sea’. We started the week listening carefully to ‘Commotion in the Ocean’. Team EO enjoyed learning the names of different sea creatures and have learnt some interesting facts about them! Children have enjoyed accessing our funky fingers activity this week which was to use the tweezers to ‘trace’ the lines with cheerios – this was a simple activity but really helps strengthen our fingers in preparation for writing! During provision time, Reception have been consolidating previous learning by making doubles on a butterfly outline. We have used the stem sentence "____ is made of ___ and ___". In Maths, Reception children were encouraged to notice different attributes in groups of objects – such as colour, size or function – and to describe what they notice. We also used our experience of investigating doubles to practically explore even and odd numbers and investigate when a number can be composed of 2 equal parts. Year 1 children, started the week using pictorial representations to find the missing addend in an equation – the children were then challenged with finding the missing addend without the pictorial representation! We then moved on to partitioning a whole into two parts and expressing this with a subtraction equation and we ended the week making addition and subtraction stories from a given picture and wrote equations to match. In History, we have all learnt about the significant historical event ‘The Battle of Hastings’, we listened carefully to a short clip (https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks1-castles-and-knights-william-the-conqueror/zmj9g7h) and then we were able to put the key events in chronological order. Miss Clementson was impressed with our use of vocabulary such as ‘King’ ‘battle’ and ‘invade’. In Computing, Year 1’s were able to identify that left and right commands turn the robot equal amounts left or right. We used our knowledge of the robot’s movement to input commands to move the robot to a given square and we were able to step through a given program one command at a time, to predict where the robot will move to from a given start position.
