This week we enjoyed having our parents and grandparents in to help us finish our shadow puppet theatres. They looked great and were fun to play with.

We have been learning about verbs in Literacy and this week we were learning about regular verbs and how there are different rules for spelling them. We also used our knowledge of verbs to write a Kennings poem about an animal or person. We wrote them up neatly this afternoon either on paper or using Word and decorated them with images.

In Numeracy, we have been doing word problems to practice our subtraction strategies and we also used bar models to learn about addition and subtraction number families.

In PE, we started gymnastics and worked on point and patch balances. We created our own using 1, 2, 3 or 4 points. We had to hold each balance for 4 seconds.

We have started our new topic – Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We learnt about archaeologists and got to sketch artefacts and think about what they could be made from and what they could have been used from.

In Health and Wellbeing, we looked at the ways in which we are similar and how we are different. We thought about how we have lots of similarities with our friends but also lots of differences. It is good to be different and we must show respect for other’s differences.
