We have been thoroughly enjoying learning about King Charles III and his coronation. We even received a letter from King Charles III himself so of course we had to reply! Class 6 wrote some brilliant letters explaining what they would do if they were king or queen and what their rules would be. We have also wrote excellent fact files all about what a coronation is and what happens during one! Take a look at some of our lovely work below.
On Wednesday, Tracey Horner, a special author from Hebburn, came to visit us to read her book ‘The Little Falcon’ all about inclusion! 🥰
We know that inclusion means everyone being able to take part – and we now know that sometimes adjustments are needed to make this happen! Tracey told us all about her brave son called Toby who has cerebral palsy and who has slightly different adjustments in his life to make him able to join in with things children love to do – playing football, going to the park, going to the beach and playing video games. ❤️
Class 6 are really excited about having a football coach coming into school every Wednesday afternoon! Lots of children in class show a passion for playing football over lunch times so we thought a football coach would be a brilliant idea so they can learn specific skills.
In History, we love learning about heroes from our local area. This week, we started learning about Kirkpatrick! We know that Kirkpatrick was from Tyne Dock, South Shields – this is just up the road from us! We were amazed to find out that he saved the lives of 300 men in the war by transporting men on his donkey to the first aid station. Here is some work we completed – we feel so grateful that a hero came from our local town.
We have been designing some incredible hard boiled eggs in Art for our competition! On Wednesday of this week, we got to use lots of different resources to make the designs in our book come to life. Look at some of the designs below!
We had an amazing, special visitor from ‘Science Buddies’ do some brilliant experiments with Class 6 this week! We had so much fun using pipettes and syringes to fill our beakers up with the correct amount of liquid. We showed excellent team work with our partners and listened so closely to our grown-up. Look at some of our exciting morning below!
We role played some various situations:
⭐️ petting a dog while it is sleeping
⭐️ petting a dog while it is eating
⭐️ being noisy in front of a dog
We now know that we shouldn’t pet a dog while it is sleeping or eating and why this may be. We understand how it can make a dog feel when they are petted during these times.
We learnt the following rules today, with help from special volunteers who acted them out:
✅ If a dog is sleeping we should leave it alone.
✅ If a dog is eating we should leave it alone.
✅ We should always be quiet around dogs.
✅ Dogs don’t like hugs, they like gentle strokes.
✅ If a dog takes your toy, you should tell a grown-up.
In Maths this week, we are learning about position and direction!
We can now describe movements using the following vocabulary:
up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards.
We can now describe turns using the following vocabulary:
clockwise, anti-clockwise, full turn, half turn, one quarter turn, three quarter turn.
Look at some of our fab work and learning on our IWB!
This week, Class 6 have been learning about multiplication! We understand that the ‘x’ symbol in Maths means ‘groups of’. We’ve been learning to complete multiplication calculations for our 2, 5 and 10 times table. We wrote the calculation to match the pictorial representation before moving onto solving abstract calculations and missing number problems.
Year 2 are very lucky as Emily Hopper from the NHS Healthy Minds Team will be coming in to talk to us about our emotions, feelings and behaviour every week to help us understand and take care of our mental health a little more! This week, we met some characters and will be exploring their home life, mindset and characteristics alongside various scenarios to help us in our own lives. We are starting to understand that our thoughts influence our beliefs and our actions that follow. We have control of our thoughts and we can change them to become more positive to positively impact our behaviour.
