Stanway Fiveways Primary School

Friday 25th April

The children have returned from their Easter holidays full of smiles and enthusiasm for the new term. We have certainly packed a lot into a 4 day week!  On Tuesday we celebrated World Earth Day and learnt about ways that we can all make a difference and help look after and protect our beautiful planet. The children made posters showing what they had learned and earned another stamp in their Agents of Change passports. On Wednesday they were fascinated to learn about St'George and how he is the patron saint of England. This inspired lots of shield making and retelling the story with puppets. In Literacy the children thought about instructions and helped draft some which detailed how to plant a seed. Then they followed the instructions to plant their own seeds. In maths the children have been busy learning about the composition of teens numbers. They have enjoyed showing their understanding through lots of different games.  The children were inspired to create garden centre role play areas and this gave them the opportunity to further explore their writing and number understanding. They wrote signs and price lists and 'paid' for items using numicon.
