This week, we’ve been learning all about real-life superheroes. We read non-fiction texts about police officers, firefighters, dentists, paramedics, doctors, vets and more. Our focus story was The Great Fairies of the World. We designed our own fairies and wrote sentences about their jobs.
This morning, we had a real-life superhero come to visit us! We listened carefully and asked lots of questions. We were so excited when we saw the police van pull into our playground.
In maths, we explored length. We cut a piece of ribbon as long as our arm and explored finding things in the environment that are longer, shorter or the same length.
We also used different objects of equal length to find out how long we are. We made sensible predictions and then checked to see if we were right by counting them.
Yesterday, we made a height chart to see who is the tallest.
We carried out a colouring mixing experiment and watched the primary colours (red, blue, yellow) travel up the kitchen roll to make a secondary colour.
The Bee-Bots have been a big hit this week! We’ve loved programming them and watching them move around our classroom.

Finally…
I can’t believe we’re half-way through the year! The children are thriving with their learning. They are becoming confident independent learners.
Thank you to all who attended the parent-teacher meetings this week. It was lovely to share the children’s wonderful achievements.
As always, I hope you all have a happy and healthy half-term break. Don’t forget to send me an email of what you get up to. I look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 20 February.
