Around The Classes

Class 1E English

Class 1E have come back to school having had lots of fun over Christmas and perhaps staying up a little later at night. In English we have been writing excuses to our parents as to why we should be allowed to stay up late using the word ‘because’ to explain our ideas and extend our sentences. There have been some fantastic excuses from the children.

Class 2W Maths

Children in Class 2W were challenged to play a dice game which demonstrated their understanding of place value.  They rolled a dice to create a 3 digit number: explaining what each part of the number represented.  They described how many hundreds, tens and units it had as well as explaining the highest and lowest total numbers that could be achieved.  Some children extended this further by deciding which digit to select for each roll.

Class 3S Maths

3S have been learning how to measure objects to the nearest centimetre and the relationship between cm and mm. We then investigated measuring with a tape measure by estimating the lengths of our forearms and feet. After our predictions, we discovered that most people's forearm and foot measurements are very close - maybe even identical!  Try it at home!

Class 4M Prayer Cards

This week we put ourselves in the shoes of Rev Kate Lovegood as she visited different groups of people in her parish, delivering suitable prayer cards.

We then discussed which prayer cards demonstrated the character of God by devising a ‘Diamond 9’ pattern.

Year 6 Local History

This term Year 6 will be studying our local area during the Victorian era (1837-1901). If you have an hour to spare over the this half term I would really recommend a visit to Rugby library. Upstairs is the local history department where you can look at ‘Rugby Almanac’ and ‘Kelly’s Directory’. These contain all sorts of fascinating information from our area. I’d recommend looking up the area where you live and see how much it has changed. 

Unfortunately we are unable to remove these books from the library to gain their full effect but we will be looking at some extracts during our lessons.

Bayleaf Cookery Co-Curricular Club

In cookery this week the children made raisin and oat cookies.  The classroom was filled with a sweet cinnamon smell and everyone got on mixing, creaming and making the dough. The children worked together with the older ones helping their younger peers.  We are hoping to have a very tasty term and hope you enjoy the food they made.
