After reading the story ‘ Silly Billy’, Year 2 made worry dolls.

Worry dolls originally come from Guatemala. The children

put them under their pillows at night and the dolls take their

worries away.

Y2 thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the teddy bears at the church.

Y2 carried out a science investigation to find the best material for the toy car to travel down the ramp. We found out that the best material was the wooden ramp.

Today Y2 started to make paper windmills as part of their topic work , moving toys.

Y2 have been using diennes to help with our understanding of tens and ones.

What a fantastic start to the school year!

Today at Woodfield School it was ‘Maths Day’. Year 1 had a fantastic day participating in all sorts of exciting challenges! First thing this morning we tried some active maths, we had to collect treasure by answering some tricky addition and subtraction word problems. Then we used lots of resources to practise place value. After lunch time we tried solving some really tricky problems in our maths groups, we only had ten minutes to try to solve each problem. Finally it was time for some art using 2D shapes, for this we had to use lots of mathematical reasoning. It was a very busy day but lots of fun. Well done Year 1 you all worked so hard, you are wonderful mathematicians!

Yesterday in DT Year 1 named lots of different types of fruit and found out which countries our fruit comes from. We found out that some fruit needs warm weather to grow so it is grown in hot countries or special green houses. Then we used the fruit to make our own healthy fruit salads. Which was your favourite fruit and why? Did you try some fruit you had never tried before?

On Wednesday we had the opportunity to practise our football skills. We tried lots of different ways to travel and dodge, then we practised different ways to move over a football. Finally we developed our coordination skills with the football. It was lots of fun and we can’t wait for more FA skills this week!
