Week 8

We finally made it to the last week of term.  The children have had lots of fun this week and are very tired.  In English the class have been comparing the stories of the Deep Dark Wood and Little Red.  In Maths we have been doing a systematic approach to number bonds.  In Art the class enjoyed creating a landscape sketch and added water colours to paint it.  In Music we have been learning to play a tuned instrument (glockenspiel).  On Thursday the class had a lot of fun designing and making axels for their vehicles.  In the afternoon they let off some steam at the Halloween Disco.  

Over the half term it would be great if the children could read their book to a grown up.  We hope they have a great break and enjoy the time off to recharge.

Week 7

In class this week the children have been predicting what might happen in a story, using a picture of the front cover of a book.  In Maths the class have been adding amounts and numbers together, using the part part whole method.  On D.T the class made a seesaw using recycled cardboard, then they tried to make it balance using compare bears.  We have continued to enjoy the stories the children have brought in from home.  On Tuesday we enjoyed a workshop in the hall about Flo who travelled from the Caribean  to England on the Empire Windrush.  In Art the class had fun composing their own version of Van Gogh's starry night.
