We would like to share with you a website to support your child in their maths learning. We use White Rose Maths in school, and they have now released some resources for Years 1-6 pupils to use at home. You can find them here, ready to download and print at home (you could even use them on screen, with your child working on paper!)

Haughmond Class News
Learning about Lowry and Perspective
Today we have been using the work of L.S. Lowry to explore how to create perspective in our sketches. We worked hard to include some of the typical features seen in Lowry’s work, including terraced streets and factories.
Here are some of our sketches.
Whittington Castle Trip
Today Haughmond have had a lovely day learning about life in a castle. We enjoyed dressing up and all wanted a turn in the stocks after learning about the dungeons!
Decades Day
We have had a super day learning about all of the decades of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. We found out about life in the different decades and how it has changed since 1952. This included exploring clothes, TV, toys and music. For lunch Ro made us an eighties inspired dinner, with sponge and pink custard and in our P.E. lessons, we enjoyed ‘retro’ dances, including the Macarena, Whigfield’s Saturday Night and Achy Breaky Heart!
Here are some pictures of our day!
Platinum Jubilee Picnic
On Friday 27th May we joined with a whole school Jubilee picnic to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne. Ro and Claire provided us with a packed lunch and some delicious red, white and blue cakes! We all had a really lovely day and are looking forward to continuing all our learning about Queen Elizabeth’s reign next half term.
Making our Jubilee Coleslaw
On Friday we used our designs to make our coleslaws ready for our Jubilee picnic. We had thought carefully about our design brief and had designed coleslaws that we felt were fit for a Queen, ‘Royal colours’ and crunchy.
Jubilee Videos
In Haughmond this week we have been learning the National Anthem with Makaton signs. The children have said they would like to be able to keep practising and share this, and the decades dance we have joined in with, with you at home. The links for both videos are below.
Jubilee DT Coleslaw Project
Today we started our Jubilee DT project to create a coleslaw fit for a Queen and that we can share with others at our Jubilee Picnic at the end of the week.
We began our topic by exploring existing products and evaluating them in terms of smell, appearance, texture and taste. We all really enjoyed the tasting activity, but our responses to the flavours were mixed!
Platinum Jubilee Topic Map
This term we are going to be learning about a very special, one-off topic – The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. This will include a focus on changes within living memory and significant individuals. We are looking forward to our Jubilee Tea Party and Mrs Gregory is particularly excited about decades day where we will dress up as one of the decades of the Queen’s reign (more details to follow soon).
To find out more about the focus in our areas of learning this term, our topic map is available at the following link.
