This week we have written a non- chronological report about wolves.  The children have researched wolf facts over the last two weeks.

In ICT the children continued to develop their skills adding clipart to spreadsheets and in P.E they used different yoga poses to help develop mindfulness and focused breathing.

Another wonderful week. In Literacy the children have been planning a character description of the Tear Thief.

Week 1

It was lovely to see the children after the Christmas break. We look forward to a busy and fun-packed  half term.  In English we have started a new class text called The Tear Thief. The children made predictions about the story and then we had a drama lesson empathising with the different characters and their feelings. In Maths we have started to look at column addition as a different strategy to add two digit numbers together. We have started a new unit in Science and we are investigating everyday materials.  The children discussed different properties of the materials during a practical lesson.  In P.E we have also started a new  Yoga unit.
