Class 1B worked so hard today partitioning numbers and knowing that addition is commutative. They used part-part-whole models to help them. #SilasMaths

What a wonderful evening we've had St Silas CE Primary School. Our whole school family has come together for a very special Iftar celebration. Thank you so much to everyone who came and shared a lovely celebration, and also to everyone who worked hard behind the scenes to make it happen.

I absolutely love working in a school within such a generous and kind community! What a brilliant evening and wonderful event! Thank you so much to all of our families for being so giving and sharing this special moment with us (and so much food!) ☪️ #iftar

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating! I hope you're all having a wonderful day! I'm looking forward to our Eid Party in school on Monday! ☪️🎉

Lots of the staff from our amazing multi-academy trust are doing the Liverpool Pretty Muddy Race for Life in memory of our wonderful CEO and special friend, Jonathan who sadly lost his battle with Leukaemia on 06/03/23. 💔🌈. Please donate if you can. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/ginas-giv…

How are we half way through week 3 already?! What a fantastic start to the year we have had in Class 1B!

We have enjoyed using counters to explore pattern and number and we were excellent at ordering numbers. #repeatingpatterns #numberbonds

Today in Maths we ordered ourselves into height order. We used the words tallest, taller, shortest and shorter.

Our Maths working wall... We have been comparing lengths, height and weight in class. What could you compare at home? What other words could you use?

Today as part of our English lesson we visited our Oasis Garden. We went on a nature hunt, colour hunt and enjoyed the rain! We had big happy faces when we arrived, and sad faces when we had to leave 🌿💦

We enjoyed exploring number while making steps. What does each tower represent? How many cubes will you need for the next step?

In science today we dissected plants to find the different parts. We found the roots, stem, leaves and flowers and learnt about each of their functions. We especially loved the feel of the roots! #SilasScience

We enjoyed our Maths party this morning. We played snakes and ladders, enjoyed addition colouring by number, and finished our morning watching Numberblocks with whiteboards and pens, writing down numbers every time we spotted a different character. #SilasMaths

On Friday, as part of our Experience Day in English, we gathered together objects from our Oasis Garden, then made Art with them. It was lots of fun!

As part of our writing lesson this morning we enjoyed a hot chocolate. We used adjectives to describe how we drank it and how it made us feel. We then wrote sentences using the vocabulary we had used.

What an incredible job these children have done with their plan for a digital painting in Computing. They are based on Kandinsky and the use of colour representing different emotions.

In RE this week we have looked at the Jewish festival Sukkot. We made our own mini Sukkah’s out of lollipop sticks, blue tack and paper.

We had lots of fun making aliens. We used different adjectives to describe what they looked like.
