Oh my goodness, what a crazy week – snow, rain, snow, floods … when will we find some organised weather system?

However, the confusion of the weather has not phased our wonderful LB 1 pupils. Instead, they have worked like little Trojans, proving how resilient they are all becoming; persevering at tasks that have challenged them and talking about their emotions when events have upset them! Well done, LB 1!

Shrove Tuesday arrived in LB1 and the pupils put their creative chef hats on to create new topping ideas for their pancakes. After exploring how the different countries in the British Isles have their pancakes, the pupils were set the challenge of creating a unique topping for Mrs Pitcher, using their fine motor skills to plan, prepare and create their own pancake toppings. Yummy!

Firstly, they visited the ‘Cookery Shop’ to decide what toppings would be best before planning and designing their creation. 

Of course, once their creations had been made, we had to give them the opportunity to taste test!

Maths this week explored bigger and smaller numbers: proving it, finding more and less and finding the difference.

Yr. 2 have really shone this week in their Numeracy. They were introduced to the new symbol of bigger than > and smaller than  < in the style of crocodile teeth. They rolled 2 dice to find numbers less than 30 before making a comparison. Great group work was observed as they enjoyed proving Mrs Pitcher wrong!

Finally, we have begun our preparations for the SEND Dance Festival, early in April. We spent our Music lesson exploring the song before Miss Troth used her dance expertise to begin creating our performance. Thank you, Miss Troth. Photos and videos to follow as the performance takes shape.
