As mentioned, we had a special assembly to commemorate the Queen on Wednesday and we were also treated to cucumber sandwiches and shortbread.
We have continued to enjoy coding with Scratch and have begun designing an interactive story with an interactive title. Mrs Montgomery is super impressed with our coding skills!
In maths and literacy, we have been working hard as always. We were practising our uplevelling skills in writing by adding openers and WOW words to sentences this week.
On Friday afternoon , we were learning new skills needed to play netball. Already some of the class are very good at scoring a goal!
We have been a doing typing club in digital learning. We have been also learning about the Queen and her life and there was an assembly dedicated to her because of her recent passing.
Heath brought in a letter that he received from the Queen’s assistant. He wrote to the queen to give his condolences and highlight some concerns about Climate Change.
For the first part of today we enjoyed a chilly but dry afternoon as we searched for minibeasts. We found plenty of slugs under some wood, a millipede, some snails, worms, flies and a beetle too.
We then used a classification grid to sort them out into different categories.
Then there was some heavy rain so we dashed indoors and started to draw some labelled diagrams of our mini beasts.
Today we enjoyed our time outdoors working in pairs to study nouns and adjectives. We took part in lots of activities to encourage us to think about these different types of words and enjoyed exploring our school grounds while we did this.
The weather wasn’t too kind to us today with quite a few surprise downpours while we worked outside. It didn’t dampen our spirits though and we worked well in teams to reinforce our understanding of rounding to the nearest ten.
After that we worked on some magic number problem solving. Some groups worked really hard and moved on to a second challenge to create their own problem.
Today we had fun exploring and investigating numbers.We played lots of team games to make the smallest and largest numbers we could make given five digits and also to find the total of five digits. We tried to find the quickest and easiest way to total the numbers using our mental maths strategies. It’s amazing all the different ways numbers can add together!
We then worked in pairs to create our own clocks and showed how the hands move round the clock making quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour.
Today was our first outdoor learning day where we didn’t need jackets! Spring is definitely here.
Our shape today was a circle and we spotted lots on our journey outside before organising ourselves into a circle once we got to our base. We reminded ourselves that a circle is a 2D shape with one curved side as we played some warm up games to try to focus our listening and concentration.
Our main learning today was on time and how to read o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to on an analogue clock. We used sticks and stones to help remind us how a clock face looks and how the hands move round, then we challenged each other to make different times. Some of us also made our own mini clocks using sticks with no numbers on the face!
We spotted lots of lovely little creatures today as we worked too.
