White post farm and snow week

 In a thrilling week, Neptune class got to meet some of the residents of White Post farm. The children got to see and touch a corn snake, giant African land snail, rabbit, and more fascinating creatures. On top of this, we also had an impressive helping of snow on Monday that made break time far more exciting for the whole week! In our lessons, we learned about subtraction, Islam, and designed our Christmas cards in DT. As we move into the next week, Neptune will be able to try their hand at sewing a Christmas tree design on a card and continuing to practise the songs for our nativity.

Ordinal numbers with Neptune class

Image
  In week 5 Neptune class learned all about ordinal numbers by racing each other in a hopping race across the class and handing out the correct rosettes to their classmates. Although we had hoped to do our race outside, we had to do it indoors due to the rain, which was still lots of fun.  Maths has been a blast this half term as we learned about parts and wholes, the addition symbol, groups and sorting, and many more important skills. As the next term rolls around we will be learning all about addition, subtraction, number bonds, shapes and more.

Wild plant hunting!

  This week in Neptune class we’ve been busy with lots of exciting learning. Our wonderful year 6s have been doing their SATS this week and we’ve been lucky enough to have them in our class to help us with our learning. We went on a hunt for wild plants around the school field, finding grass, dandelions, daisies and more of the plant life we’ve been learning about in our science lessons. Next week we look forward to  our trip to Felley Priory Garden to learn more about the diverse plant life in the UK.

Action packed final two weeks

Image
 In the last two weeks of school, Neptune class have been hard at work. From learning about how rules make a game more fun, to introducing part part whole models and the addition symbol for the first time, the class haven’t slowed down at all. In science, we measured the daily temperature and rainfall for a whole week as we’ve been learning all about weather and the different seasons. In choosing time, the children have been reinforcing this knowledge even further by writing about and describing all sorts of different weather conditions and events. In writing, we published a phenomenal character description of George the giant. It’s been an action packed two weeks and Neptune class have more than earned a break.  Neptune class learning the rules to noughts and crosses, and thinking about how sticking to the rules makes the game even more fun. Here Neptune are sorting different pictures into parts and wholes, in preparation for introducing part part whole models.
