Welcome to Mrs Rodgers' Class
We are a class of 12 clever boys and girls who love to have fun while we learn. We have two wonderful classroom assistants called Mrs Clarke and Mrs Morrow.
Term 1:1
This half term our W.A.U. topic is 'Dem Bones'. We have been learning all about the bones in the human body, the five senses and teeth. In Numeracy, we have been working on Place Value, 2D and 3D shapes. In Literacy, we have been reading the book 'Funnybones'. We have also been reading and writing Shape Poems.
We really enjoyed the Treasure Hunt organised by School Council for Fairtrade Fortnight. Thank you!
We can sort 2D shapes using a Venn Diagram:
We counted in 10s using our handprints!
We learned about the sense of Hearing. We enjoyed playing Hearing Bingo!
We know that a noun is a person, place or thing. We went on a Noun Hunt in the classroom.
We can count in 10s!
We can sort shapes using a Carroll Diagram.
We explored 3D shapes by building models and making nets out of Clixi.

We made symmetrical patterns for our friends to copy.
We played ‘Where on the Line?’ to practise our estimation skills.
We tested our sense of sight in a coin drop experiment.
We made buns on DLD day! Yum!
Term 3
Focused Value - Respect
As part of our new topic Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, the children explored an image showing the effects of pollution on the environment. They worked together to generate a range of adjectives to describe the setting, such as unclean, dirty, and damaged. Using these descriptive words, they wrote sentences to bring the scene to life and to express the importance of looking after our planet. This activity helped the children expand their vocabulary and understand the impact of waste on our world.
The children were given division sentences and used multilink cubes to explore how we can divide equally to find the correct answer. This hands-on approach helped the children to visualise the problem and understand the concept of sharing and grouping in a practical way. It was a great opportunity to build confidence and deepen their understanding of division through active learning.
Focused Value - Respect
As part of getting to know each other better, we held a special 'Show and Tell' session in class.
Focused Value - Resilience
Children are working really hard on identifying and sorting out Money. We used plastic coins to look at the details of each coin and talk about what we see on each coin.
Focused Value - Happiness
During Phonics, the children explored tricky words. They practiced sounding them out and joined in a fun Disco Phonic dance! When the music stopped, everyone wrote down all the tricky words they could remember to help reinforce their learning.
Focused Value - Resilience
The children are continuing their work on adjectives, using them to describe a variety of settings. They've been using their five sense to help expand their sentences, making their descriptions more vivid and detailed.
Focused Value - Saftey
During P.E, the children have been playing a game called 'Shark Attack', which helps them develop their agility and teamwork while having lots of fun!
