This week we have listened to lots of pirate stories.  They helped us to use our imagination and design our own pirates.  We loved drawing our own pirate characters and writing a description of them.

  

                    

In maths we have been using pirates to subtract.  It was fun making the little counting people walk the plank! We can write our own take away sums.

  

In art we worked together to make big pirate ships.  The are up on the wall sailing the Seven Seas!

We are enjoying the pirate activities around the classroom and in the Active Learning Zone.

We are enjoying choosing new tasks from the homework grid and enjoy sharing our learning at home.

Ellie made a super book about a pirate called Bug Eyed Bill.  Rustam’s made a pirate flag, Aiden and John both designed fab pirate ships pirate ships.

  

Week Starting 30th April 2012

• We all have gym on Wednesday afternoon.
• We will have a new way of doing homework this term. All homework will be given out on a Thursday and is due back on a Wednesday. Each week there will be a Yellow Book Challenge to do but you can pick which challenge you want to do from a list of 3. This means that we will not be giving out yellow or purple book bags for the first three weeks.

On the day your child has gym, please ensure they returned their clean shorts, t-shirts and gym shoes (some of us have grown a little so please check that they still fit) and have no jewellery on. Also, please tie up long hair. Thank you.

Please remember to return your child’s summer trip form  as soon as a possible.

Our topic is all about Pirates and we are learning about subtraction.
