This week we have started our tree week project and the children have been learning about the Baobab Tree! They have remembered lots of fascinating facts about this interesting tree and are now starting to write their own information reports.
Here we are doing the Baobab quiz!
Click on the link to watch the newly released advert for the Skoda Fabia, created by the wonderful Janelle in Class 2b! She wrote the advert herself and then recorded herself reading it aloud. We then used Windows Movie Maker to add Janelle’s voice recording onto a video of the Skoda Fabia.
Skoda are expecting their Fabia sales to go through the roof after this video goes live!

In literacy today we wrote setting descriptions for the beginning of our Lighthouse Keepers Lunch stories. As a class we collected our ideas together and then had a go at some shared writing to help generate our success criteria. We then went off to have a go on our own and produced some fantastic pieces of work! Below is an example of some of the writing.
Here is Macy’s writing. I love how she has used ‘in the distance’ to describe where her thunder and lightening is.
Here is Aakriti’s writing. She was fantastic at growing her learning and having a go at her next steps.
This week in maths we have been learning our number bonds to 10 and 20. The children have been practicing their mathematical reasoning using these three key questions to help them:
What do you notice?
What is the same?
What is different?
Here is a picture of the numicon number bonds we created for our working wall.
We used bead strings to find our number bonds to 20. We looked for number patterns and found a logical way of finding all the possibilities.
We matched up addition and subtraction sentences and found our own groups of number sentences.
Today the children took big steps in their maths learning! We have been looking at place value and children have been using the words ‘tens’ and ‘units’ to talk about numbers. We have been exploring numbers and using ‘maths talk’ to explain our reasoning.
We have used tens and units apparatus to build numbers:
We tried different number challenges and used ‘maths talk’ to explain what we found:
I am already looking forward to our next lesson tomorrow!
