This week we continued exploring our new topic – The Rainforest. We learned all about why most rainforests are located on the equator, and about the layers of the rainforest.

We have also been learning more about place value and rounding. Today we drew place value grids onto our desks and the pupils drew counters in the boxes to create three and four digit numbers.

For literacy, we completed a description writing relay. Pupils were given a card with an item on it which they had to describe and were racing to complete as many descriptions as possible.

In PE pupils made use of the parachute and different games were played.

The class have also been learning about music and have had experience using the glockenspiels and clapping along with the beat of different songs.

Just a quick reminder that our PE days are on a Wednesday and Friday. Please ensure that appropriate kit and a change of shoes are brought to school.
