Health and Wellbeing

We have been thinking about feelings and what makes us feel a certain emotion. This week we have been thinking about what makes us feel angry.  We are learning that there are lots of different emotions and that people react to things in different ways.

Outdoor Art

This week we have been doing some transient art. This means that our artwork is only temporary and won’t last forever. We had to work as a group to collect resources from outside – sticks, stones, leaves etc and then we had to create a piece of art using our collection. Our creations included a duck, a volcano, a house, a unicorn cupcake and even a dog! The results were fantastic and we all worked so hard!

Maths

We have been using our ActiveLearn logins this week to play some addition and subtraction games. We enjoy using the laptops and had lots of games to choose from. We could work our way through the levels collecting lots of points.

Mother’s Day

(Warning: don’t read any further if you haven’t received anything from your child and don’t want to ruin the surprise..!)

 

This week we have been creating beautiful mother’s day cards to say thank you to our Mums for being so amazing. We used hand prints and fingerprints to create a pot of flowers and we wrote a message inside.

I hope you all loved your Mother’s Day pictures and messages that were in the Evening Express on Monday. We were all very excited for you to finally see them!

Writing

We discussed lots of adjectives that we would use to describe our Mummy. We then had to follow a pattern to create a poem that used lots of similes. We know that a simile is when you compare one thing to another and it uses the word ‘as’ or ‘like.’ The poems that we created were amazing and had some very thoughtful similes in them to describe our lovely Mums 🙂 We then wrote out a neat copy which was good for us to practise our handwriting skills. We hope you liked them!

Science

We applied our knowledge of the human body to design our very own board games during Open Day. We had some brilliant ideas – including question cards, jail, missing spaces, ladders to skip parts of the game board and we all managed to think of some very good questions about bones and organs! When we were finished we were able to play our games which was lots of fun.

Open Day

I hope you all enjoyed open day and seeing your child’s work and class achievements. Thank you so much to everyone for coming and the lovely feedback. I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing holiday and look forward to more busy and exciting learning in term 4 🙂
