Astronaut training!



In the last two weeks before half term, Neptune class have done been writing a set of instructions for aspiring astronauts about how to go to space. On Monday of week 5 they kicked off by undergoing their own astronaut training, and by the Friday of week 6 had written their own set of instructions, using questions marks, exclamation marks and plenty of adjectives. In RE Neptune have practised their oracy skills, learning how to instigate, build and challenge respectfully in a discussion and having some fantastic conversations around the themes of different bible stories in RE, and about the similarities and differences between Mae Jemison and Tim Peake in history. Now it’s time for a well earned week off as we officially finish the first half of the school year.

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!

Image
  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.
