Another incredibly busy week in Orion class!

In DT we have been researching information about torches. As a class we compiled a list of all the equipment we would need to make our very own torch - out of paper and card of course. Independently, we then wrote out a set of instructions which we followed to make our own. As you can see we had lots of fun creating them.







For our open afternoon, parents and careers were invited into school to help support us with our creative writing. During this afternoon, we designed our own settings for our 500-word writing competition. We used a range of materials and designs to create a magical setting. We cannot wait to write our own 500-word stories this week.

We are now becoming masters of times tables now too! Everyday we spend time on TTRS which enables us to develop fast recall skills of our times tables (up to 12x12). If you would like to support at home with this then please encourage children to login to TTRS or go to https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/

  Welcome back everyone!                                                                 TTRS Champions!  We have had an incredibly busy week with lots of fun learning activities already completed. In writing we have been looking at the skills we use when we write, this includes making sure we always present our work with our best handwriting, that we use the correct punctuation, and we proofread our writing to make sure it makes sense. We particularly enjoyed writing with our non-dominant hand, writing with our eyes closed and writing without holding our pens correctly – this demonstrated the importance of us always writing in our best handwriting so that our writing is legible.   In math we have been multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. By using counters and place value charts in our lessons, we were ab...

                Welcome to our class blog!  Well, it has been an incredibly busy few weeks back at school, but we have thoroughly enjoyed being back - as you can see from the pictures. The children have been working so hard.    This term our class novel is 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl.  In writing, we have loved designing our own delicious, mouthwatering, scrumptious chocolate bars. Together as a class, we created a bank of high-level vocabulary to use in our expanded noun phrases. We have then further developed our sentences using a range of persuasive openers and conjunctions. We have then independently structured our very own persuasive advert using all the skills learned over the past three weeks - impressive right? Well, Mrs Taylor certainly thinks so! In math so far, we have been developing our knowledge of place value by looking at four-digit numbers and partitioning them. We have then been plotting ...

  Bread Making Fun! At the end of last term, we were all given the opportunity to make and bake our very own bread as part of our DT topic. After we had made it, we evaluated it and carefully considered how we could improve it. All children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this lesson as you can see with the pictures. I must say, I was very impressed with everyone’s end bakes and I’m sure they enjoyed eating it too 😊
