Hi everybody!! 

Thank you for all of the amazing work that you did last week! I hope you all enjoyed the well-being day on Wednesday! 

This week, we are starting our new topic - Meeting Maori's - a New Zealand adventure! 

Our English and topic work will be based around this and for our Maths, we will learn about multiplication, division and fractions. I have put the documents below in order of when you will need them based on the timetable. Some activities will also be online using Education City, Purple Mash and Phonics Play. Please don't worry about printing off any documents. All of the work can be completed as written work, copying the headings etc or writing out the calculations in maths. Please take any photos of work when it is completed. For the maps, these can be edited and labelled on the computer using paint. 

Flashcards for phonics can be found beneath the first set of links. 

Don't forget to send me any photos of your super work!! 

Remember to keep active and keep safe! 

Have fun with all of your learning and remember to contact me if you need any support. 

The video below is the text map for our story "How the kiwi bird got its brown feathers."

Times Tables Rock Stars (ttrockstars.com)

Welcome to our class page! Look at all of the exciting things that we have been doing in the Squirrel class.... 

We had our nocturnal animals topic day today! We transformed our classroom into a night time world and went on a nocturnal animal hunt. We "toasted" marshmallows on the campfire, watched the "Wind in the Willows," completed a nocturnal animals quiz and word scramble and we did some nocturnal animals crafts. 

We had a topic day to complete our learning about the Great Fire of London and People who help us!

We made a street out of carboard houses and set fire to them to see how the Great Fire of London spread. We also pretended to be Thomas Faryner, the baker, and made our own bread using the slow cooker. 

We also pretended that we were helping the people in London to put the fire out by standing in a line and passing the buckets along the line. We did this in teams and then we did it as a whole class. 

We tasted our bread in the afternoon - it tasted as good as it smelled - and some of us described it as delicious! 

We have been learning about the Great Fire of London. We made houses from carboard boxes and we enjoyed playing in the role play corner - we were pretending to be bakers.
