A very successful week in Eagles class this week. Congratulations to these students who have all passed another stage on their multiplication. Please continue to practice at home.

In Maths this week we have been learning about 3D shape. We have explored vertices and edges in more detail, using sticks to create 3D shapes of our own and practicing explaining our shape.

Phew a busy week for the Eagles class.

We have continued our Maths learning on 2d shapes and have been exploring patterns.

We have also started to learn about Northern Europe in Geography and Astronomy in Science. Our first lesson was about the Sun and the Solar System.

Tuesday was a brilliant day, taking part in the Lynnsport day.  We played lots of different sporting team games and had lots of fun together.

We have been practising our Spelling and Grammar, as well as continuing with our Phonics.

Please practice your times tables and reading at home.

Spring has truly sprung this week, and Eagles' class are enjoying the better weather! Please can you send your child in every day with a sun hat and water bottle, especially as these warmer days (hopefully) continue.

This week we have been learning:

Literacy: we are writing our sequel to the 'Magic Finger'. The children have used their imaginations wonderfully, and we have had families turned into birds, deer and even wild rabbits!

Maths: we are learning about 2D and 3D shapes. Please help your child to recognise these shapes in and around your home.

Science: we continued our learning about materials and matter.

Art: we are using wool to add features to our mural. This week has involved weaving, creating twisted cords and making pom-poms. All of these are new skills and have been challenging!

Times tables: all of the children have impressed us this week by improving their scores. Please continue to help your child practise.

This week, Eagles class enjoyed some different learning experiences. Finally, the weather was kind enough to us (only just!) and we ventured out to the Walks on a nature hunt. It was wonderful to hear the children using their new vocabulary:

'That's a deciduous tree, Miss Snow!'

'Can you see the buds growing on that tree? Does it stay green all year, is it evergreen?'

We also spotted a jay bird, something many of the children and some of the adults had not seen before.

In Literacy. we have been reading 'The Magic Finger' by Roald Dahl and have been recreating the scene where the Greggs have just turned into ducks.

Then, during art, we had a go at printing our own designs of fish onto paper. We are working as a class team to create a mural, and look forward to showing it off once it is finished.

In History, we have been learning about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.

In Science, we have started learning about Materials and Matter.

Eagles have worked hard this week!

Literacy - we have finished reading Rapunzel, and used our imaginations to think about how we could trap the Witch. Next week we are writing our own versions of the story.

Maths - we have been looking at dividing, by sharing objects into equal groups. This has been tricky for us, but we have worked really hard.

Geography - we have used our knowledge of maps to find Ireland and locate the capital city, and local landmarks.

Science - we have continued our learning about plants by conducting an experiment. Pop back next week to find out what happened to the plant in the cupboard!

Eagles class had an exciting visit this week from HSBC bank. Danielle and Willow came to teach us all about money - we really enjoyed the lesson and looking at the huge debit card! A huge thank you to HSBC team for their fantastic support.

In other news, this week we have been learning:

Maths: all about money!

Literacy: we have finished our instruction writing. After half term we are learning about Rapunzel.

History: we have finished our learning about the Tudors.

Science: we have finished learning about electricity, next half term we will be learning about plants.
