It was so lovely to welcome everyone back to Juniper class and hear about what they did over the holiday. We have had a great start to the term. In English we have been refreshing our knowledge and skills with some recount and non-fiction writing. We have started to look at fractions in maths with a focus on half this week. We are looking at data collection in ICT this half term. We started this week using tallies to help gather data from pictograms. We started our history learning which is focused on The Great Fire of London. The children are so excited about this and keen to learn more. A great start to the term Junipers, Well done!

It has been another great week in Juniper class despite everyone being very tired. In science this week we have learned about food chains. We continued with our new text ‘The Black Book of Colours’ in English and the children have written some lovely description writing using similes and noun phrases. For science we went outdoors to be wildlife presenters like David Attenborough. We found, snails, spiders, woodlice, worms and birds. The children enjoyed our visit to the church for our lovely Easter service. Thank you to those who came to help walking up. The children’s highlight was an Easter egg hunt and visit from the Easter Bunny, which was put on by the Fons team. Well done for all your hard work this term Junipers, have a lovely restful Easter!

We have had a wonderful week in Juniper class. The children are amazing and such a pleasure to teach. In science this week we have learned about food chains. The children have designed a piece of art to show this, and we will continue with it next week. In English we have started a new text ‘The Black Book of Colours’ and have been looking at similes. In maths we have been learning about capacity and volume, can your child tell you what these words mean? The children had a lovely practical session, despite getting a little wet, measuring in millilitres and litres. Well, done Junipers, have a lovely weekend!

Juniper class have had a great week once again. The children have worked hard across all areas of their learning. We have continued our learning about animals and their habitats which the children are enjoying. The children have been able to use their science knowledge to help them research, plan and write a report about an animal during our English sessions. We are still looking at measure in maths and have been measuring and comparing to mass in grams and kilograms. The children all showed good improvement in their swimming this week. It is so lovely to see their enthusiasm and progress. A big thank you to our parent helpers who walked to swimming with us. We wouldn’t be able to do it without you! Well, done Junipers on another fantastic week!

What a wonderful week we have had in Juniper class. During science this week, we have been learning how animals have adapted to survive in their environments. Our maths learning has been measuring in centimetres, metres and comparing to find the difference. The children have been learning how to write a report in our English sessions, using our text ‘Here we are’ as a guide to help them. We were lucky to have a special guest in school this week to talk to us about what it is like to be a scientist. The children thoroughly enjoyed this and came up with some great questions to ask.

What a wonderful week we have had in Juniper class. We started the week with Science learning about habitats and microhabitats. The children had a great time looking at different habitats and exploring our playground and wilderness area. We were excited to get back to swimming this week. The children have made fantastic progress and it is great to see them all so confident in the water. The main highlight of the week was world book day. The children were so excited and all dressed up amazingly well for the event.
