Willow Spring One, Week 2

Date: 16th Jan 2025 @ 3:29pm

This week we have been having fun in maths and learning through a story called 365 penguins. The children have really enjoyed solving problems linked to the story and needed to use their times tables knowledge to work out how to store all of the penguins in equal groups. They also worked out how many penguins there would be for christmas dinner, how many penguins there would be on their birthday as well as how many penguins there would be at the end of each month of the year. 

We learned a rhyme to help us remember how many days each month has:

30 days has September, April, June and November... 

In science, we have been keeping an eye on our plants daily to see how they have grown. We have been making some great statments about what our results have shown us. We have also looked at how water is transported through a plant using celery and coloured water, and disected a flower to examine its parts. 

Next week, we will begin our new Geography topic: UK discovery. We also have a young author coming into school on Wednesday to tell us all about a book he has written!
