Guess my number

Added on by Andrea Alway.

Oak Class have been using fantastic mathematical vocabulary to guess the number their partner is thinking of. We used 'tens', 'ones', 'digit', 'more than' 'less than' and 'between' in our guesses to embed the learning we have been doing in class. A great game to play at home.

The First Butterflies

Added on by Andy Howe.

Willow, Oak and Chestnut classes each have a butterfly garden in our classrooms. This is becoming a lovely summer tradition and fits really well with our theme of survival. We received the baby caterpillars just over a fortnight ago and have been tracking their growth. The first two have come out of their chrysalides within the last 24 hours and both are in Chestnut!

Oak Class Assembly

Added on by Andy Howe.

This morning the whole school, as well parents of Oak Class, were treated to a fantastic class assembly. In the words of Mrs Evans it was 'awesome' and we watched performances of songs, Kung Fu punctuation and video animations of plasticine minibeast models filmed using the iPads.

I have taken photos of the stars - head over to Oak's class page to see the gallery of owls, pussycats and one happy zebra. Can you work out who they all are?

Mr Howe

Lights, camera, action!

Our stop-frame animation skills are coming on a treat! You can see the results of our hard work in our class assembly next Wednesday (20th May).

Carol Dweck - Growth Mindset TED talk

Added on by Chestnut.

Follow this link to Carol Dweck's talk on Growth Mindset, filmed in November 2014

Carol Dweck researches “growth mindset” — the idea that we can grow our brain's capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet? A great introduction to this influential field.'
