In Year 6, we are currently studying classification. Our first objective was to learn how to sort organisms into different categories based on similar characteristics, including how many legs they have, their colour patterns, whether or not they have fur and more.
We have been learning maths outside!
William Byrd Primary Academy has been Awarded Primary Science Quality Mark!
In our Year 1 writing lessons we are looking at the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We came to school dressed up as Grandparents to promote discussion and experience what it is like to be a grandparent.
This year has marked the start of our Growing Hope Project in school. The Growing Hope Project follows the seasonal cycle of the year and uses it as a metaphor for growth and change that supports the children in coming to terms with their own changing circumstances. There is strong evidence to link gardening and connectivity to nature with improved mental and physical health.
The group has flourished and worked well together so far. The children have been busy making a bug hotel in the Growing Hope Garden. They worked together to gather different natural materials such as, dry grass, sticks, stones, wood and fallen leaves. This will provide a safe hideaway for wildlife.
It is wonderful to see our Reception children settling in so well in their new classes.
The beginning of the term can be hard for nursery children, but we are happy to say children are settling in really well.
