Hello and welcome to the Class Seven homepage. The team working in Class Seven are Mrs Davies, Mrs Casey, and Miss Kurs. We are very excited for the year ahead and we will keep you updated on the children’s learning on the Chatter Feed on the right hand side of this page.
Targets from speech work will be reinforced in speech sessions given by Mrs. Davies and Mrs. Casey. We have devised a diary sheet to show what speech work has been carried out in the Language Resource, Home school and at home to ensure consistency and communication between the settings. The children’s speech book should be taken into Pleasant Street the days the children attend and then into home school the days the children attend their main school.
PE – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
The Last Wolf by Mini Grey
After finding posters about a wolf in last weeks English lesson. Class 7 hunted inside and outside of school also looking up and down Pleasant Street and Clarence Street for signs of a wolf. The children used their sight, smelling and listening skills to find clues about the wolf. They even asked several staff in school if they had seen the wolf.
The children enjoyed exploring today’s news and then relaying the information they had heard for their parents on Seesaw. Fantastic confidence, listening and following instructions from our newsreaders!
The children worked in groups to generate questions to ask our special visitor. They explored different question words and what they are used to find out, including How, Why, Where, Who and What? They were delighted to receive a visit from not one, but two Lonely Beasts! They asked questions and listened carefully to the answers.
The children worked in pairs to solve missing number problems on the Hundred Square. They explored how to find 10 more and 10 less and discussed patterns that emerge when finding different times tables.
The children enjoyed the challenge of answering ‘Why?’ questions about themselves. They worked hard to answer in full sentences, using ‘because’ to explain their ideas.
Thank you to our visitors teaching us the importance of staying safe in and around water. We learnt techniques how to keep ourselves safe and what to do if we see anyone in need of help.
The children have enjoyed learning about bees this week. They have expored how bees make honey and where they live. The children enjoyed watching Mrs Grindley’s favourite childhood cartoon, Maya, to help them to explore bees further.
It was fantastic to observe the children leading their own game of ‘Heads Up’ during choosing time this week. They have worked so hard learning different ways of questionning during whole class speech games. It was lovely to see that they can now play this game independently.
This week the children listened to ‘Can’t Stop the Music’ by Justin Timberlake.
