Monday to Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem
What a fun last week of term we’ve had! We loved our Christmas parties 🥳 and enjoyed sewing our Christmas craft.
We read lots of Christmas stories and wrote some super descriptions of Santa. PE was fun with lots of Christmas themed games!
Have a wonderful holiday everyone. I can’t wait to hear all of your news in January next year!!!!
This week we worked together to make Santa sleighs, grottos and workshops.
We also started sewing our baubles for our trees at home.
We wrote descriptions about a mammoth from our story this week. They were fantastic!
In PE we did some fitness circuits!
This week we wrote a set of instructions about how to wash your hands properly. We all acted it out to make sure we had the right steps. We are able to identify verbs and number our steps.
In numeracy we have spent time adding 10 to any number within 100 and within 1000 at our own level. We discussed the different language for addition and made up a list of ‘stuck stop’ strategies to help us solve addition problems.
We finished researching for our weather talks and performed them in front of the class. We tried hard to speak in a clear voice and to look at the audience. Well done to everyone for super posters and interesting talks!
In PE we made up gymnastics sequences in a group of 4. We had to perform a repeated pattern. Other groups had to guess what would come next.
