Welcome back, everyone!

 

This week we have written a story about a child who wakes up with super powers. It was lots of fun planning our stories and we have written and edited them. We have been using coloured pencils to underline where we have used connectives, openers and descriptive language. If we don’t have any we write a sentence to include one.

In Numeracy, we were learning how to use greater than, less than and equals symbols. We have also been doing a Halloween themed problem-solving challenge. We have had to read the questions carefully and then use our number skills to solve the problems.

In PE, we practised our hockey skills and played a game where we had to try a score a goal against a partner.

In Health and Wellbeing we have been talking about the different emotions we can experience and how these can change all the time. We read ‘My Many Coloured Days’ by Dr Suess and then chose colours that match our moods. We wrote new words to ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’, changing the emotions and giving things you could do to feel better. For example, ‘If you’re sad and you know it, hug a friend’ and ‘If you’re angry and you know it, count to 10’.

Our new topic is The Human Body and this week we learnt about the skeleton and its functions. We learnt that it keeps us upright, helps us move and protects some of our major organs. We learnt that children have 270 bones but adults only have 206 and this is because some of the bones fuse together as we get older.

We have been doing Skills Academy at school this week and the children have been enjoying learning new skills in Lego building, working with others, playing new board games, learning about animation and printing.
