Today we have been looking at how many different ways we can share 10. We started with two hoops and 10 bean bags and explored the different ways we could show 10. We then worked in pairs with a tower of 10 cubes and everytime we took one away we would find the number bond. Year 1s have been using [...]
On a Friday for the past couple of weeks we have been working with a book called The Train Ride. Today, the children tried to remember the story we had learned (using great actions) and make their own books...with a front cover. All of the writing was independent and we now have a class of fantastic authors 😀
I was lucky to be in class 2 this morning and see 'explorer' projects. We heard interesting facts about the Interational Space Station and also Australia. Both boys spoke very clearly and the children asked some fantastic questions 😀 Â
Class 3 & 4 have been dancing the past few weeks up at the village hall with local teacher, Rita Evans. The children have choreographed thier own short pieces based on their class topics; class 3's Egyptians and Class 4's Vikings. You may be able to see some Egyptian looking moves in the photos?!
Class 3 had an interesting visitor yesterday morning in our Ancient Egyptian workshop. Howard Carter came in to tell us all about his discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. We had to solve an Ancient murder mystery and decide who had killed him - the most likely suspect was his uncle (the innocent looking Theo) who [...]
We held a maths workshop today to present some important aspects of maths teaching and to share some strategies we use. Miss Hill and Mrs Rinvolucri did a great job, shared some resources and our Learning Resources page on the website has had a complete revamp too! https://georgehamceps.wpengine.com/maths-resources/ Thank you to those who came!

So, we have spent the week writing lists and instructions on how to make jam sandwiches. Today, we finally got to make them! We were very impressed with how well they remembered each step they [...]
"I really liked Henry's because he has a rocket and a volcano!" said Benjy "I liked Sunny's and I liked the Gecko facts," said Tess. "I liked Tess's because it has a great design" said Harry. Edie said to us, "I liked Roxie-Lou's because she had not one fact, but others all spaced out and underneath each other, so that [...]
As part of our 'materials' topic we spent the afternoon testing different brands of kitchen towels for absorbency, strength and value for money. It was busy (slightly loud😉) afternoon of great learning. 😀
