We have a had a very productive week this week.

In ICT we focused on research skills online and how to search safely on google.  We looked for famous failures for kids.  In literacy, we looked at note taking based on what we found and created our own posters about our famous people.  We picked JK Rowling, Michael Jordon, Walt Disney and Albert Einstein to create our posters about.  We worked on the joins between ip, ig, is, uy, us and up.

In Numeracy, we looked at fact families and a part part whole model. On Tuesday we looked at how to use split strategy to work out sums of 2 digit, 3 digit and 4 digit numbers.  On Wednesday, we looked at finding the halfway point between two numbers.  Some children used help from a numberline while others learnt the strategy which they add the two numbers together and then divide it by 2.

In HWB, we looked at stop and stuck strategies that help us.  We also were able to discuss what was a big problem and what was a little problem.  Lastly, on Wednesday, we refreshed why it is important to be kind to others and shared kind compliments to our friends.

In Music, we introduced the use of glockenspiels. Everyone got a turn of trying to follow along with the music.

In Outdoor Learning, we did a wildlife survey from the RSPB on minibeasts.  The children used tally marks and a grid to keep track of how many creatures they found.

In PE, we worked on teambuilding games.  We were able to play cross the river, pass the hoop and complete an obstacle course outside.

Hope you all have a lovely rest of week.
