I’m so disappointed that something seems to have happened to all the photos from our prior blog posts!

Topic

Parts of a Plant

We have been learning this week about the different parts of a plant – seed, bud, roots, stem etc. We have also been learning about the stages from a seed growing into a plant. We had to complete a labelling task where we had to label the correct parts of a plant.

Planting Sunflowers

As part of our topic we have planted sunflower seeds. We discussed what a plant needs to survive and this has linked nicely to our performance of ‘There’s a Sunflower in my Supper’ and some of the songs we sing about plants. We will have to keep a careful eye on our plants to check that they get water and light to grow.

Writing – Newspapers

We have been continuing our learning about newspapers. We started to write our own newspaper articles this week. We took it very slowly and started with our headline. As a class, we voted to see what we wanted to write an article about. The most popular choice was the recent van crash into the Cults Tesco so this is what we wrote about! We included a picture and caption and we included an introduction to explain briefly what had happened.

Maths

We have been continuing to learn about angles. We know that a right angle measures exactly 90 degrees. We had to hunt around the classroom for right angles. We have created our own little measurers to work out if the angle was smaller or bigger than a right angle. Some of us have also been learning about the points of a compass and had to follow instructions on a map.

Performance Props

We have been continuing to work on our props for our upcoming performance. We have been practising hard and hoping it all turns out well!
