Guess which Olympic sport in 1/2B? 🔍
In Y1/2B, we have been practising some of our sketching skills to reveal our Olympic sporting theme. Can you guess from our work? 🔍
Will it be bronze, silver or gold in Y1/2B? 🏅
As part of our DT project, we designed, made and evaluated our own Olympic medals in Y1/2B. We decided our medals must have the Olympic rings and the goddess of victory, Nike. They should be shiny and durable. They could have a ribbon attached, to wear around the neck. 🏅
May the force be with you Y1/2B 🎾⚽️
Our Science investigation on push and pull forces (in sports) generated the question: How much force will make a ball travel the furthest? 🎾⚽️
Olympic Maths in Foundation 2.
What an amazing morning of maths learning. We have had so much fun this morning. We have done some Olympic maths. We have made olympic medals we can eat, counted how many times we can do olympic activities, making numicon patterns and exploring all the other maths activities in the classroom.
Mo Farah in F2, can you do the Mo Bot?
We had a look at our countries flag, we talked about what we would like to do if we were in the Olympics and read a story and listened to some facts all about Mo Farah. We even did the Mo bot.

Place Value in Y2
In y2 this week we have been learning all about place value. We have been discussing the value of tens and ones.
Place Value in Y1 numeracy 🔢
Today our Y1 numeracy learning was about sorting objects and preparing to count. Objects can be sorted by their shape, colour and size. We also realised that objects can be sorted by their type. We discovered that when we line our objects up, it makes counting easier.
