This week we have been learning about onomatopoeia and wrote a poem using onomatopoeic words about Bonfire Night. We have written them up neatly and decorated them for a display. We also made firework images in Art using chalk and a little glitter!

We were learning about where Newport is. We learnt about the UK and found Scotland, Fife, Dundee and Newport on Google Maps. We had fun trying to travel from the school to our homes using Google Maps.

We shared information about ‘places of local interest’ and have found them on the map and put a pin in to show them.

We practised some football skills in PE. We learnt to control the ball and pass to a partner.

In Numeracy, we have been rounding to the nearest 10 in 2 and 3-digit numbers.

In Health and Wellbeing, we were learning about how to work out if something is a big deal or a little deal and what we can do about both. Something that needs an adult’s help is a big deal and there are lots of things that are important to share with an adult. We discussed that there are lots of things that we can sort out on our own or with a friend that are little deals. Sometimes we also just need to take a few deep breaths and shrug off a little deal. Macaroni the Mole taught us not to make a mountain out of a mole hill!
