Hello and welcome to Starfish class.

Meet the fabulous Starfish team.

When we read, we like to ask questions about the text and predict what we think might happen next. Every day we have story time where we read an exciting book together.

Starfish class enjoy borrowing books from our school library, and also like to visit a local library where we take part in activities and share books and stories.

English

 This half term in English, we are going to be looking at Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe to link to our rivers topic in geography, and How Dinosaurs Really Work to link to dinosaurs in history and rocks and fossils in science. Click on the curriculum overview button for further information.

Mathematics

In maths, we use concrete, pictorial and abstract representations to support our mathematical learning.

We have been working hard on developing our mental and formal methods, and using these to support our reasoning and problem solving.

Our curriculum is bespoke to meet our individual needs, however sometimes we join our friends in other classes to participate in lessons we particularly enjoy and excel at such as art, music, PE and science. 

Starfish class enjoy a variety of trips and visits. Sometimes these are linked to the curriculum, but often we visit places where we can practise our social and practical skills.

We all chose pumpkins and paid for them in the lovely farm shop. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside for a drink and a snack, and even had time to visit the play park.

We visited a supermarket and bought ingredients to make cakes. We used our ingredients to make delicious fairy cakes covered in icing and interesting sprinkles, which we shared with parents at a drop in afternoon.
