Good afternoon all!

We have some great news! One of our chicks has hatched!!

We think it is a girl because she looks quite brown but we will have to wait and see when it is fully dry.

We will keep you updated as more chicks hatch, but don’t forget to check out the live stream- you may see one hatch live!!!! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rsAVZWCMNJZ

Hi all!

Today we discovered odd and even numbers! Odd numbers cannot be shared fairly between two groups e.g. 1,3,5,7,9 and so on.  Even numbers can be shared fairly between two groups e.g. 2,4,6,8,10 and so on.

The children were amazing at representing this with their cubes and understood the concept really well!  We then solved a problem.

“If we add two odd numbers together, the answer will always be odd.  Is this true or false?”

We discovered this was false!  Two odd numbers always make an even number! Ask your children to tell you why!

During their computing lessons, the children have been looking at the difference between a traditional paper book and an ebook. A traditional book can have beautiful pictures in and a written story or text. They learnt that ebooks can also have pictures and text in but can be interactive too. They discovered that you can listen to ebooks and sometimes the pictures move or talk when you touch them.

We have started to make a ‘Gruffalo’s Child’ ebook for the reception children to enjoy. Here are a few of the photos that they drew using the ‘Draw Free’ app on the iPads.

On Friday we held a surprise assembly for Miss Morris to celebrate that OFSTED have graded our school as GOOD.  Each class or year group made a short video which was shown during the special assembly. Each of these videos have now been posted on the individual year group blogs for the whole school community to enjoy.
