Marvelous Maths

This week in maths we have been learning all about place value for numbers up to 50. 

We have been working practically using deans and straws to represent how many tens and ones are in a number.

We are so proud of our learning.

 

World Map

In Geography we have been learning about the 7 continents and the 5 oceans.

We have looked at maps and atlases to locate the continents and we found out that we live in Europe.

We also found out that the ocean that surrounds the United Kingdom is the Atlantic Ocean.

We used directional language such as North, East, South and West.

Nursery Phonics Workshop

Today we held a phonics parent workshop to show how we teach phonics in Nursery.  Our parents/ carers joined in with a phonics session where they found out how we learn the sound of the week and they also got to meet Fred Frog who taught us all how to speak in Fred talk.  We played I-spy with Fred and then our parents and carers could come and play with us in a variety of phonics linked activities. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came today. If you could not attend please feel free to come and speak to a member of Nursery and we will happily go through some of the things that were talked about.

A big hello from Mrs Lockhart.

Well, what a wonderful start to the year I've had with Yellow Class! I can't believe we are almost at the end of week 3. I thought it would be nice to introduce myself a little to you all. So here goes........

Originally from Cardiff, Wales, in 1998 I ventured 'Up North' to Sheffield to study Primary Education at Sheffield Hallam Uni. Since then I have taught in numerous schools in London, Cardiff, Sheffield and Derbyshire. I have experience teaching Foundation stage, right through to Year 6. I have 2 children of my own, Evie 12 and  Dylan 10, who I'm sure you'll get to hear about through your children. My passions are spending time with my children, music, playing tennis, relaxing at the cinema and I have to admit I'm a bit of a foodie.

I am passionate about making learning fun and engaging for all your children and will do my very best to help them to be the very best they can be. I want them all to reach their full potential but also  help them to develop into kind, caring and wonderful individuals.

As a parent myself, I am fully aware of the challenges that school and learning can bring. Please don't hesitate to come and chat to me about any concerns, worries, questions you may have about your child and life in Yellow Class. I am more than happy to chat things through with you.

I'm extremely excited for the year ahead and all the adventures that await Yellow Class!

Can you find half of 18, 24 and 30?

Can you find a quarter of 24, 32 and 28?
