22/07/24- One of our choices for our final week was baking! We got to bake and decorate solar system cupcakes and had lots of fun working in a team. We spoke about hygiene in the kitchen and how we need to ensure everything is clean the whole time we are cooking. We also all helped to tidy away, as that is a big part of cooking and baking too!

24/05/24- Fox Class were very lucky today to be visited by a real life Vet, to help us with our topic of ‘Animals’ in Science. Gina the Vet talked to us about being a responsible pet owner, showed us some X-Rays to help us learn about skeleton structures and she brought some stethoscopes for us to try with each other! Gina even brought in a real life Guinea pig, to help us practice how to be responsible pet owners.
17/05/24- We have loved starting our topic of ‘money’ this week in Maths. We have been recognising coins, making amounts using different coins and finding change!
13/05/24- After reflecting on our Earth day assembly, we conducted some research on the parts of nature we noticed outside and found out why it is so important to protect! We made information leaflets aimed at KS1 and even got to go and present them to the classes. We used our presenting voices and made sure we were clear and informative. We hope our leaflets inspired KS1!
09/05/24- Loving our lunchtime activities in the sunshine!

12/02/24- As it is Shrove Tuesday this week, we have been thinking about temptation and what it means, as Jesus had to resist temptation in the desert! Miss Elvin tempted us with some sweets and we had to resist the urge to eat them during the lesson. Some of us managed it, but others found it tricky to resist temptation!
08/02/24- We wanted to find out how far 1000m was, so we decided to get some meter rulers and go on an adventure! We found out that from our classroom to the hall, and around the hall in a square 4 times is 94m. This means 1000m is really far!

24/01/24- Based on our class text, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we have been looking at newspaper articles and getting ready to write our own. Looking at examples is a great way to find features and get ideas!
19/01/24- We have all been working so hard this week on dividing 2 digit and 3 digit numbers by a 1 digit number. We love using our Maths equipment to help us and we have been doing great at working together to find the answer when things get tricky.

08/01/24- We began our first day of Spring term by thinking about our aims and goals for 2024. We all agreed to ‘reach for the stars’ and aim high! It will be brilliant to look back on these at the end of the year and see what we achieved.

30/11/23- Carrying on with our DT topic of pneumatics, we made planes that were powered by actual air! We worked together as a team and found that the bigger we blew up the balloon, the faster and the further the plane would travel.
30/11/23- Marking St Andrew’s day with a service in Church. We wrote some lovely prayers and poems that we read out to everyone.
28/11/23- We have loved using practical equipment in our Maths. We are working hard on using Mathematical language when comparing different statements.
