Beech Class Blog – Week of Learning Highlights!

This week in Beech Class, we have had an exciting time full of learning, teamwork, and brilliant achievements! A special shoutout goes to our *Star Learner*, Harper! Harper has shown incredible determination and motivation in her writing. She has worked exceptionally hard, making great strides in her storytelling and sentence construction. Well done, Harper, we are so proud of you!
Literacy 🌟
In Literacy, the children have been exploring the wonderful world of 'Stanley’s Stick'. We have been sequencing our story sentences, focusing on making sure the story flows in the right order. 

Year 2 have been working extra hard to write larger quantities of work, producing more independent writing. It's fantastic to see their confidence and creativity growing!
  
Year 1 have been focusing on building strong sentence construction skills. They are learning how to use capital letters at the start of sentences and full stops at the end. They’ve made great progress!

Math 🧮
In Maths, we completed our learning on place value and wrapped up the unit with assessments. Everyone gave their best effort, and now we’re diving into our next exciting topic: 'Addition and Subtraction'! The children are enthusiastic about their new challenges and are showing brilliant problem-solving skills.

History 🔍
In History, we learned all about the remarkable 'Marie Curie'. The children were fascinated to discover her legacy as a pioneering female scientist. We discussed her important work and how her discoveries still impact the world today. The children were inspired by her bravery and determination.

Computing 💻
This week in Computing, we explored the different types of technology we find in the world around us, both inside and outside our homes. The children enjoyed spotting everyday tech such as streetlights, traffic lights, computers, and kitchen appliances. They learned how technology helps us in so many ways every day.

PSHE 🤝
In PSHE, we had a thoughtful discussion on 'How to Be a Good Friend'. The children shared some wonderful ideas on kindness, listening, and how to support each other. It was lovely to see how much they care about being kind and considerate to their classmates.
