Summer 2

We have been joined this half-term by Julie who is sharing the teaching in class with Tricia – welcome Julie!

We are now in the last half-term of the year and out topic is ‘Different Places, Different Lives’. This week we are talking about where we live – Luton and Great Britain – and about our own homes and families before then moving on to focus on Africa, Russia (where Katie, one of our TAs is from) and China.

Linked to the countries we are using literacy books ‘My Granny went to Market’, ‘A is for Africa’ by Ifeoma Onyefulu, a non-fiction book ‘Russia’ by Helen Arnold and ‘Cleversticks’ by Bernard Ashley. 

For each country we will be sharing a range of activities linked to food, clothing, climate, flags, animals, artwork and music. We will, where possible, also be experiencing some of the languages by sharing stories read by different members of staff. It should be a very busy half-term!

End of Summer 1

We enjoyed our literacy books this half-term.

We made friendly and grumpy faces for our ladybirds.

We made spiders and webs for our Very Busy Spider book.

At the end of half-term we visited Standalone Farm to see animals with their babies. We milked a 

cow (not a real one), fed the pigs and piglets, brushed a pony, took a trailer ride and much more. It 

was a great day!

We are growing broad beans and flowers and will go on to learn about Minibeasts, the life cycles of a variety of creatures and to learn more about farm animals and pets and their young.

Our literacy books this half-term will be ‘The Bad-Tempered Ladybird’ and ‘The Very Busy Spider’.

End of Spring 2

This half term in Yellow class there have been some staff changes. Joanna has left and I (Tricia) am currently leading the class. Lisa has also joined us as a Teaching Assistant.

The theme this term has been ‘Treasure Island’ and we have dressed up and taken part in many pirate activities and looked at things which are on or under the sea.

Our World Book day book was ‘I’m the Happiest’ and you will find pictures of this under the World Book term section here

Spring 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spring 1

This half term our topic is “Café”. We learnt about what we can buy in a café, who works there, how to behave in the cafe and about money. We visited Cafe Rouge to try French food and to an Indian restaurant to try some Indian cuisine. We had a great time and enjoyed practising using money too.

Autumn 2

This half term our topic was “Over the rainbow”. In Literacy we studied the story “Wizard of Oz” and before that “Handas’s surprise”. We created lots of different characters from “The Wizard of Oz” story and we made our own book from work we have done on “Handa’s surprise”. On this occasion we were working on writing, reading, acting and we had lots of fun.
