We have been using the iPads to photograph our lovely outdoor environment.  The children have been learning how to use the iPad to take photographs of interesting natural materials.

We had so much fun with maths outdoors last week, that this week we decided to do it all again! This time we calculated the area of the shapes using our knowledge of multiplication.

The children have been enjoying retelling the story of We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Micheal Rosen. On Tuesday we went off on our very own bear hunt around the school grounds and were very excited to find one! We changed the ending of the story a little so that the bear didn't chase us but instead…

The children have been set the…

We enjoyed the fresh air whilst finding out about Auggie's first day at Beecher Prep.  We are really enjoying reading the book and are looking forward to finding out…
