Our Learning Journey \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Together Again<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reception<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We started our year, reading the story \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcColour Monster\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 which helped us to talk about our feelings, and how we felt about coming back to school. Then we read the book Mixed, which helped us to think about how we are the same, and how we are different to our friends, and also to celebrate diversity! As part of Black History Month, we have been learning about African traditional tales with Anansi. We also learnt about the life of Dr Moody, which made us think about the struggle against racism. He was also a great doctor so the children enjoyed being doctors in the role play area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout our learning journey this half term we have been exploring our feelings and emotions. Being together again has allowed our children to share and express their experiences throughout lock down. We have explored numerous texts centred around exploration and worries children may have. We have provided children with the chance to view situations from alternative perspectives, and have been focusing on how we use the our \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEmpathy Goggles’ to help us understand the world around us. Children have created some fantastic pieces of work including designing their own worry monster and exploring character traits in our Black History month focus book ‘Mixed’.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What a fantastic half term this has been! We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen a huge progression in the children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s place value knowledge in maths. We can see they are becoming more confident mathematicians who use their reasoning tool to explain their strategies. The books that we have been reading have thoroughly engaged them with our learning journey. As the children have connected with the characters, they have been able to use their Empathy Goggles to write letters & diary entries. We look forward to new adventures in the next half term!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our learning journey; Together Again, has focused on settling the children back into school. We have examined and discussed themes such as empathy, kindness, confidence, growth mindset and effective listening. We have been really impressed by the children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s level of participation and their sensitive contributions in our literacy sessions which link to our learning journey, we have read three great books; Here We Are, Sparky and The Heart in the Bottle. We have reviewed and extended our grammatical knowledge and writing skills. The children have produced some really imaginative pieces of writing including dialogues, character descriptions and creating their own stories which the children then published in origami books which they made themselves!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 4\/5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For this half term’s Learning Journey, Together Again, we have focussed on themes related to well-being, our place in the world, feelings of belonging and our emotional responses. We have used a variety of stimuli for our writing and had a lot of discussion-based learning, where we shared our thoughts and feelings around a given topic. Everyone loved finding out about \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Lost Thing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and Windrush Rush Day was another highlight for us this half term!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Year 6<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate being ‘Together Again’ we have really focused on using our empathy goggles. We have explored a range of characters in different texts and this has allowed us to make links with experiences we have shared during this time. The children were able to identify and learn about many important themes including; immigration, race and equality through use of drama, diaries, formal letters and art. We have been so impressed with how well the children have engaged with their learning by asking fantastic questions.<\/p>\n

Care Home Letters<\/span><\/h3>\n

This half term we have been taking part in a community letter writing project.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0We have been partnered with Manley Court\u00c2\u00a0Care\u00c2\u00a0Home, so children put on their Empathy Goggles and imagined what it might be like to be in a care home during these difficult times. The letters the children have written are both heart-warming and heart felt, lots of the children included jokes, pictures and activities for the residents to do. Thank you to all the children who wrote letters!<\/p>\n
