This week we have been learning all about non-fiction texts. We looked at what non-fiction means and features of a non-fiction text. We then explored the book ‘My Bean Diary’ which shows us how broad beans grow from a tiny bean into a plant. We therefore thought it was only right we planted our own beans so that we could watch them grow. We talked about what our beans need to grow and made sure we provided these so the bean could grow. We are so excited to see how they change over the next few weeks!!

This week Year 1 had their Easter evening, where we came back to school with our adults to join in with some wonderful Easter activities. We had so much fun spending time with our adults and doing things like colouring, painting, Easter basket making and even making crispy cakes… which was one of our favourites!!

In PSHE, class 4 have been talking about road safety. We talked about why it is important to be safe near roads and how we can do this. We learnt that when we come to a road, to cross safely we need to;
✋ Stop
Look
Listen
Think
And even had a go at doing this with a road in our classroom!!

This week Class 4 celebrated pancake day. We read the story ‘The Runaway Pancake’ – which reminded us of another story we know very well! We talked about why we celebrate pancake day and looked at how people celebrate it around the world. After all that talk of pancakes, our tummies were rumbling so it was only right that we got to taste some ourselves! We designed our “perfect pancake” before creating our own using different toppings. They were absolutely delicious!

This week Class 4 have been looking at length and height. We used language like ‘taller’ and ‘shorter’ to compare heights.

We then used non standard measurements (cubes) to measure the length of items around the classroom.

Before using a ruler to measure items in centimetres (cm).

This week for Safer Internet Day, Class 4 have been looking at how to stay safe online. We talked about what it means to be safe online and how we can make sure we are doing this.

We talked about sharing personal information online and how we need to be careful what we share, before sorting different types of personal information into ‘safe to share online’ or ‘not safe to share online’. We had a brilliant understanding of what we could and shouldn’t share and why.
