Sunflower Class
SUNFLOWER CLASS
Sunflower Class is our Year 1 and 2 class.
Mr Shipway is our Sunflowers teacher, and we have Miss Carter and Miss Harris helping in class as our TA.
Sunflower Class Harvest Poetry!
Sunflower Class have been busy exploring poetry through their harvest and autumn learning. The children listened to harvest poems, built their own word banks using their senses, and practised using adjectives and rhyming words. They planned and wrote their own harvest poems, describing golden fields, juicy apples, and crunchy leaves. Everyone took great care to edit and publish their final versions, complete with colourful illustrations. We’re so proud of their creativity and hard work — our classroom display is full of beautiful autumn poetry!
Archery Fun with IG Sports!
Sunflower Class had a fantastic PE session this week learning all about archery with IG Sports. The children listened carefully to instructions, practised their aiming skills, and showed great concentration and teamwork. Everyone had lots of fun taking turns to hit the target, cheering each other on, and celebrating their improvements. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and perseverance from all the children throughout the session!
Building Number Bonds to 10 and 20!
This week, Sunflower Class have been busy exploring and reinforcing their learning on number bonds to 10 and 20.
We’ve been using double-sided counters, rekenreks, and Numicon to help us understand how numbers work together to make a whole.
To finish off our learning, we created our very own number bond animals — we hope you love them as much as we do!
WILD THINGS!
Sunflower Class have been enjoying the story Where the Wild Things Are. After listening to and learning the tale, the children let their imaginations run wild by designing and creating their very own unique Wild Things!
Chalking Up Our Numbers
This week in Sunflower Class we have been exploring number lines. Using chalk, we created our own number line out on the playground. The children enjoyed finding and marking their own age, then talking about numbers that are more than and less than their birthday age. They finished by circling a number that was one more and one less than their age – a fun and active way to practise our maths learning!
