This week we have enjoyed working on different skills in PE again. We took part in hockey, bowling, throwing and catching with scoops, ring toss and tennis. We also had fun playing games and taking turns with the parachute.

 

In outdoor learning we discussed lots of different feelings and what facial expressions they miht have. We created different emotion faces using natural materials. We had feelings such as surprised, worried, excited, calm…

 

In maths we have been exploring 2D shapes, counting sides and corners. We have also been exploring chance and probability.

 

In Health and Wellbeing we have been discussing growth mindset and he power of ‘yet’ through the story The Magical Yet.

 

Finally, in science we have started learning about body systems and cells. We started this topic off by learning about the human skeleton. We thought about what it does how it move and what it protects. We managed to build life size skeletons on the floor.

Monday to Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

We are really enjoying our author study of Julia Donaldson books. We are sharing these texts and finding phonics sounds, looking at spelling and grammar rules and also discussing character and plot. We are writing descriptions of our favourite characters in our big writing lessons. You will be able to see our wonderful work on the wall.
In handwriting this week we have been practising letters with tails. We are all working on common words in spelling, working at our own level.

In music we are continuing to learn different body percussion to a range of songs. For PE we are playing playground games to improve fitness and working on ball games. We have had fun with parachute games too.

Homework will go out this Wednesday and is always returned on a Monday.

 

Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

What a lovely first day today! It was so nice to see everyone and share our holiday news.

We enjoyed playing class bingo and started to create our new class charter.

We liked exploring the classroom with our friends and playing outside together.

We were practising letters that start like a ‘c’ for handwriting heroes and we shared some books from the class library. At the end of the day we played spelling sparkle to practise our common words.
