I am re-posting this so that the children don’t have to scroll so far to get to it again. I have added a 100 square as we are now working with numbers up to 100. Also, we have been trying to read time to the hour – o’clock and half part, so I have included an interactive clock with draggable/ movable hands.. Can you count in tens up to 100? 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 … What comes next..?

On Wednesday 3rd May, 1S and 1L visited Bearwood Allotments. We had lots of fun exploring and learning about plants and soil. Stephen Taylor – from West Midlands Farm Discovery – The Country Trust – helped us learn more about planting seeds and what plants need to grow. We planted radish and mangetout / pea seeds, explored the plants already growing like strawberries, lettuce, radishes and also herbs like mint, sage and chives to name but a few.

This half term in history, we have been thinking about The Gunpowder Plot. Have fun learning these songs to help you remember key facts.

This half term, we have been looking at the parable of ‘The Lost Son’. A parable is a simple story told to teach a lesson about how to behave. Jesus told many parables and these can be found in the Gospels in the Christian holy book called the Bible. Here is a clip showing the story.

What was Jesus trying to help people understand with this story?

Do any other stories from any other religions have messages like this?
