Bubble H - Calculating Fractions, Decimals & Percentages with Love Hearts!
 Bubble H have been extremely busy revisiting
our learning on fractions. Our favourite lesson this week was calculating
the fraction, decimal and percentage colour distribution of Love Hearts.
We each had our own packet and we had to work out the fraction, decimal and
percentage equivalents of each colour. We also produced a bar graph
to show our results. We found that Violet was the most popular colour out
of 13 packets... 81/325! |
Bubble E Creating William Morris Wallpaper
 This
week Bubble E have been learning to
tell the time using o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. We then
went outside and worked as teams to tell the time in 5 minute intervals using
chalk to draw the clock and sticks for the hour and minute hands. We have also been finding out about the artist William Morris and
have written a biography detailing his life. In art we looked at some of his
most famous pieces and created our own wallpaper using elements of his designs
in our own work. |
Learning Outside the Classroom with Bubble G
 What an amazing week we have had in Bubble
G, where we have been lucky enough with the weather and our amazing
woodland, we have spent more time outside than in. We have been planning
and editing our stories based upon Humpty Dumpty and we are just about ready to
construct our own picture books based on a fear our character overcomes.
We have been problem solving using treasure hunts for addition and subtraction
including exchanging which has really helped us to remember how to tackle those
trickier mathematical problems. When we were working on our problems, we
found a freshly hatched egg that Matthew Magpie identified as a pigeon
egg! We also worked on our virtual sports day on the Rec and
enjoyed competing in teams to try to beat our best times. Long may this
wonderful weather continue to support our love of LOTC at Kendall! |
Welcome Back Bubbles C & D!
 Bubbles C and D were thrilled to welcome 20 Children back into Year One on Monday. This
week they have read and learnt the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Both
bubbles acted out the story in small groups and there were some brilliant
performances! They then planned and re-wrote the story using sentence starters.
In maths we have been measuring items, we started by estimating then using
cubes and 100 bead strings and then moved onto measuring in centimetres and
meters using rulers. They have looked at Van Gogh sunflowers and made clay
sunflowers and in ICT they have started programming with bluebots. |
Forest School Visitor!
 This week the Forest
School team had a quiet visitor who sneaked up them while they were tidying the Forest School shed. Hello! What are you doing here? |
Direction and Position
 Last week Bubble E investigated direction and position
in maths. They marked out clock faces on the floor to help describe
anti-clockwise and clockwise turns. They also had to say if it was a quarter,
half, three quarter or full turn. |
The Bad Tempered Ladybird
 Last week Bubble C’s learning was centered on The
Bad Tempered Ladybird. They acted out the story with some fantastic
voices and actions. They have learnt lots of facts about ladybirds and
insects and we went on a mini-beast hunt in the woodland. They have
labelled the parts of an insect and wrote a ladybird fact file. |
Welcome Back!
 This week we welcomed back our EYFS children alongside our children
from Key Worker families and next week, from Monday 15th June, all of the Year 1 children.
