World Book Day Celebration

Take a look at this compilation of pictures from World Book Day which was on 3rd March. Lots of fun was had and lots of books read! This year we had a focus on maths in stories. Each class discovered maths within their chosen book. Maths can be an abstract subject but using a book helps to bring it to life and make it seem "real" and more accessible for everyone!

Our resident artist Nicola has also been painting in the library. Can you spot the characters? 

Mental Health Week 2.2.21

The theme this year is all about expressing ourselves. 

We can express ourselves in lots of ways: talking, smiling, through music or by what we wear.

These people express themselves through art. Take a look.

Chinese New Year 2.2.21

In 2021, Chinese New Year will take place on 12th February. Each year of the Calendar represents one of the 12 zodiac animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. 2021 marks the Year of the Ox.

We are so lucky at The Fen Rivers Academy because Miss T used to live in China and her friend has made a video for us about the Chinese New Year. You can watch it below!

Tigers have been looking at the artist Pablo Picasso and then trying to paint in his style.

He did a portrait of Picasso, with very careful observations to details. 

Maths 1.2.21

Tigers are carrying on with learning and practising how to multiple two digit numbers together.

PE 1.2.21

This Tiger has been enjoying the small glimpses of sunshine, to do some outdoor PE.

It requires a lot of skill.

Forest Schools 19.1.21

One of Tigers went out yesterday and collected some stones from the garden.

He then made stone structure. It is quite tricky to balance stones on top of each other and great patience and dexterity would have been needed.  

What do you think it could be? Can you name the structure? 

Multiplying using a Number line 19.1.21

Did you watch the video of Mrs Hill? She used her number line to multiply a two digit number by single digit number.

Tigers then tried this for themselves at home. 

Look at all the amazing successes they had! 

Tigers are super mathematicians.
