We had lots of fun exploring the snow today! It is great fun to explore seasonal changes. 😃 The children had huge smiles on their faces and we had such a joyful time outside!
We have been busy writing our stories in English and working on subtraction in Maths! I’ll make sure to send updates on our learning this week! The children are working so hard and I’m really proud of their brilliant attitudes! Well done Emeralds!
Emerald Class also worked really hard last week learning more about the impact of plastic pollution. We took part in a special whole school assembly learning about the plastic pollution in our oceans and waters. The children shared lots of ideas about how we can use less plastic! We will continue this important learning this week too!

Remember to make sure you include capital letters, full stops and finger spaces between words. Read your sentence back and check that it makes sense. Bonus points for using lots of descriptions and adjectives too!
Share your super writing to gain a point for your team before Friday’s Celebration Assembly!
Today in geography, Topaz class learnt about different uses for land in settlements. We discovered that land is used in a variety of ways including; agricultural, housing , retail, industry , business and leisure.
We focused on our local area studying ; Crewe , Nantwich and Wrenbury.
It soon became clear that in our local area most land is used for housing and agriculture. Next week, we will look at similarities and differences of land use in our local area.
Remember to check our class blog challenge at the bottom of the post!
We had another busy week in Emerald Class! Our class demonstrated lots of kind and caring words and gestures this week and we completed some activities to think about all the different ways we can be kind to ourselves, other people as well as being kind to our planet!
Keep up the amazing work Emeralds! 💕 We also have been working hard with the wonderful Ruby Class to rehearse for our Christmas Production! Keep practising your lines and remember to say them in your ‘hall voice’! 🌟
In English this week, we started our new unit on writing journey stories. We used the wonderful story ‘The Way Back Home’ by Oliver Jeffers to help kickstart our new topic. You might have this book at home to enjoy. If you don’t have a copy, you could always search for the book on sites such as YouTube and enjoy hearing it read to you.
As part of our Primary Writing Project work, we used this marvellous story and made it our own! We imitated the story and created our own version – The Way Back to School! Emerald Class are very creative! Our main character raided lost property and found a drone to fly all the way to a desert island. Our new story is no longer set in space; we have pirates, coconut trees and ships on the desert island! This week, I can’t wait to see what fun the children will have when they innovate the story further to make their own versions!
The children are working hard to make sure their sentences have capital letters, full stops and finger spaces! Keep working hard to make sure you include them independently Emeralds!
In Maths, we have been working on calculation. The children have been using and applying number bonds in their work. Emerald Class are trying really hard to learn number bonds. Can the children learn their number bonds to 10 off by heart? We use these number bonds in both addition and subtraction calculations so learning these mentally is incredibly beneficial.
We are going to focus on subtraction next week! 😊 You could make some subtraction questions at home. You could put 6 apples out for example. If 2 get eaten, how many are left? There are many opportunities to learn about subtraction at home!
Here are some of the kindness hearts we made in class. Thank you to Daniel in our class for the super idea! We made some heart paper chains to display our kindness challenges too. Here is a selection of our ideas. 😊
