Our PE lessons are on a Monday afternoon. Please can all children come to school in their PE kit. Our class goes swimming on Wednesday alternative half terms; we will be going swimming Autumn One, Spring One and Summer One. All children will need a swimming costume and a towel. If appropriate, they will also need a swim nappy.

We have had a very busy week in Carroll class this week, here is what we have been upto

 

English:

This week, we have continued looking at the story Paddington Bear by Michael Bond. We used all the adjectives we learnt last week to create our own character profile of Paddington. We then wrote our own character descriptions using some fantastic words!

 

Maths:

 

This week, we have been looking greater than, less than and equal to. We looked at different amounts using our counting skills and decided if they were greater than, less than and equal to. We also have ordered numbers up to 100 using this!

 

 Other news:

On Friday, we had Roald Dahl day. We celebrated by having a Charlie and The Chocolate Factory themed day. We designed our own chocolate bars and gave them a name. We then created our own Wonka bars and decided to get mess playing in chocolate gloop! We ended the day watching a little bit of the movie, it was a very fun day!

Autumn 1: Week 1 (Week Commencing 2/9/24)

 

We have had a fantastic first week back at school. We have already settled back in and building fantastic relationships within our new classroom.

 

English:

This week, we started off the week getting to know each other sharing our interests, favorite things and all about our families. We then moved into our unit of work this half term. We will be looking at the story Paddington Bear by Michael Bond. We predicted what we thought the story could be about before reading. We then looked at adjectives and came up with our own adjectives to describe Miss Henderson and Paddington Bear. 

 

Maths:

 

This week, we have been looking at counting forwards and backwards. We enjoyed lots of counting songs and learning to understand a hundred square. We have filled in missing parts of a hundreds square and counted both forwards and backwards from any given number. 

 

Topic: 

 

This term our topic is Bright Lights, Big City. We introduced our topic this week by recognising the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and what are the 'big cities'. We learnt about the capital cities and we also combined the 4 flags to create the union jack. 

 

 Other news:

We have loved settling into our new room and learning about each other, we are very excited for the year ahead!
