Pinecone Class - Term 1

Last week we used our oracy skills to retell the story of Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion. We used actions to support our oracy.

In maths we have started using number lines and we have already used dienes to count to 100 in tens.

Last week we celebrated European Languages Day and we had a visitor come in to teach us Welsh. The children enjoyed practicing the phrases they learnt.

The children also enjoyed learning about the parable The Lost Sheep in RE and ordering the story as it had got muddled up.

STFC are supporting our PE lessons this term and teaching the children skills such as dribbling and team work. In our class PE lessons we are learning dance and the children applied the knowledge they learnt to perform a Bollywood dance where their peers gave feedback.

Science Adventures

This term, our science lessons included an exciting minibeast hunt around the school grounds. Students focused on woodlice as part of their ongoing study and were thrilled to discover a variety of insect species during their exploration.

Creative Homework Highlights

We’ve been amazed by the fantastic homework projects completed in Term 1. From detailed research to impressive 3D models of animal habitats, these creations have beautifully linked to our science topic and showcased the children’s creativity.

Dance and Cross-Curricular Learning

In Term 1, students explored dances from different countries. Building on this, Term 2 will introduce movements inspired by insects and garden animals, creating a wonderful connection between Dance and Science.

The children have worked so hard and shown great enthusiasm this term! We hope they enjoy a well-deserved half-term break and spend plenty of happy moments with family and friends.
