Kingfisher Class @FP this week we introduced our new English using the Literacy Tree. Our text is a book called ‘Riddle of the Runes’ by Janina Ramirez. We arrived at school on Monday to find Viking treasure and artefacts in our classroom. We had to decode some runes and began thinking about Vikings and what the new text was about. We found out the Vikings in the text had gone missing so we began to investigate. Today we role played characters from the text and looked at dialogue and using inverted commas. We had a lot of fun! Next week we will begin to plan alternative endings to the story. Have a look at some of our work!

In Science we are learning all about materials. We started to examine the properties of materials by investigating hardness. We had a variety of materials and had to design a way to test their hardness and order them from softest to hardest. We scratched the materials with nails to see how easy it was to scratch the surfaces.

Nursery News – All Aboard the Naughty Bus!

What a busy and exciting week we have had in Oakbridge Nursery!

This week, our learning has been inspired by the story Naughty Bus. The children have loved exploring the adventures of the mischievous little bus and have been using their imaginations to create their own journeys.

In our maths area, we have been busy counting passengers onto buses and matching numbers to quantities. Our budding drivers have been making tickets, exploring road maps and deciding where their buses might travel next.

We have also enjoyed building roads, creating different journeys and using lots of new vocabulary as we play. It has been wonderful to see the children developing their communication, confidence and friendships through their learning.

Learning at home: Why not look out for buses when you are out and about? Talk about where they might be going, spot numbers on buses or count how many passengers you can see.

Well done to all our little learners for another fantastic week!
