The Year 1 students were given a special job this week: shape hunters! This week in Maths, Year 1 were learning all about 2D and 3D shapes and what better way to make connections than with hands on learning. As we learned the features of 2D and 3D shapes, the children were counting how many sides and corners and using their Be Independent skills to figure out what shape they found around the school and playground.
In Continuous Provision, the students could manipulate straight lines making shapes of their choosing. It was fun counting how many sides and corner and determining the shape together.
The Year 1 are expert shape hunters. Give shape hunting a try at home!

Year 4 recently embarked on a thought-provoking unit of work, stepping into the shoes of Rainforest Detectives to solve a serious environmental mystery, in the hope of changing the future of the rainforest.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
