Today at Queen’s Hill Primary School, pupils were treated to a day of transport-inspired activities to launch our new topic ‘On The Move’. Children got to have a go at fixing a car tyre, experience what it might be like to be on board an aircraft and found out more about train safety with a visitor from Network Rail.
Key Stage 1
Problem Solving in Maths
This week we have been using our problem solving skills in Maths. We worked hard to think of different ways we could use 5 colours for 3 balloons. We have also been looking at comparing numbers and using vocabulary such as; more than, less than, greatest, least and as many as.
First Week in Year One
This week in Year one we have been revisiting our numbers from 0-10 and looking and the different ways numbers can be shown. We have been using tens frames to represent amounts and have challenged ourselves to add small amounts together.
Respectful Learning Community
This half-term we are focusing as a whole school on ‘developing a respectful learning community’. In assembly yesterday, the children voted for the growth mindset crowns that they felt would be most relevant for this focus. The children chose challenge, teamwork, creativity and reflection!
First Week Back for Year 2
This week in year 2 we are working on place value. We are exploring numbers up to 100 and enjoyed using base 10 to make and add big numbers!
Year 1 Clay Boats
Today in Year 1 we made our boats out of clay. We had to follow our designs carefully and select appropriate tools to help us. We are so excited to paint them once they dry and can’t wait to show you the finished products!
Anti-Bullying Curriculum Day
This Friday we hosted another whole-school curriculum day, which focused on anti-bullying. All children from reception to year 5 participated in an exciting range of creative activities. It was great to see so many children from different year groups working together.
