Year 3 Maths: subtracting two numbers, across a ten.
Over the past few weeks, the class have been busy looking at addition and subtraction, using the column method. We started with adding two 3- digit numbers without exchanging, before moving onto adding and subtracting across a ten and a hundred. Today, we looked at subtracting across a ten. The class are developing a good understanding and we will be continuing to embed and practice the column method, throughout Year 3.
Reception Reindeer Food
Reception have been making some reindeer food for our Christmas fair. They used the cups to pour the reindeer food into the bags. We talked about how we can leave the reindeer food out on Christmas Eve ready for Santa and all the reindeers.
Reception Stickman
This week, the children have been looking at the stickman story. They have been superstars at creating stickman pictures including, drawing Stickman’s Lady Love and his family tree. They showed good understanding, as they were able to tell us their favourite parts of the story. Some children even had a go at writing Stickman’s name.
Year 5- School Council Class Meeting- How can we make school feel cosier?
Before we started our class school council meeting today, Rio (leader) read out the results from the last meeting. The highest vote went to allocate litter pickers from each class to keep our school grounds tidy. This week, we discussed how can we make school feel cosier, with the days getting colder. Our note-taker Kaitlyn collated results and found that all of the group voted for option 2 "be allowed to bring in their favourite blankets to wrap up with in class".

Year 3 R.E: How does it feel to be in the presence of God?
In R.E this term, the class have been exploring how the presence of God impacts people's lives. To begin with, we discussed the meaning of presence and how we know someone is present with us. Over the past few weeks, we have been looking at pieces of artwork that represent the shepherds visiting Jesus in The Nativity Story. Each child chose a piece of artwork that they were most inspired by and created their own piece, representing how God was present, during the birth of baby Jesus. The class will be presenting their artwork in church on Friday 16th December, during our whole school service at St Barnabas Church.
Year 2 - Creative writing
