Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage Children in Reception have been learning how to compare amounts. They filled five frames and used the language ‘more’ and ‘fewer’ to show their understanding of comparing. They enjoyed exploring different amounts using small parts.  ​

Key Stage One Another great week! We loved welcoming the families for maths morning last Friday and have continued learning about different number tracks. The year 2s have been enjoying counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and even 3s! We have enjoyed learning about the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashnanah by tasting bread and honey with apple in R.E. In Art, we enjoyed getting messy and exploring how to use oil pastels. We were learning to use them to make different marks and discovering how the colours can be blended with other colours to change the texture.  

Lower Key Stage Two This week, LKS2 have started writing their own stories based on our model text 'The Garden'. In PSHE, we had brilliant discussions about trust and our trust circle. We have also explored yes and no questions to create a branching database in computing (unplugged). Finally, in Science we followed instructions to build a circuit with a switch 

Upper Key Stage Two In Upper Key Stage 2, children have been engaged in a wide range of exciting and educational activities. In English, they've been working on their "Reading as a Reader" skills, delving into the story of Zelda Claw, exploring characters, themes, and language to deepen their understanding and enjoyment of the text. In Science, the focus has been on exploring how light travels and how this affects the way we see things, with practical investigations to bring these concepts to life. In Arithmetic, students have been sharpening their skills in both short and long multiplication, building their confidence with larger numbers. During PE lessons, the children have been enjoying netball, developing their teamwork, coordination, and tactical thinking. In French, they've been learning how to ask and tell the time, expanding their vocabulary and practicing key phrases through fun activities. It’s been a busy and productive time for our Key Stage 2 pupils!
