We completed our Developing the Young Workforce week by talking about jobs we would like to do in the future. We drew and wrote the qualities we would need for that job.

We wrote about the jobs of the emergency services and the qualities  of people who work in these jobs for writing today. We then had a teams meeting with P3A to share our learning.

This week the whole school is focusing on the emergency services as we learn about different types of work.

Today the children  were given logins for Teams where the homework for the class will be posted every Monday.

This will consist of literacy, numeracy and one other area.

The class were shown by Mr Green how to use teams last week in the hall.

Group reading  books have been allocated on Active Learn.

We were learning about shapes as part of maths week. We created some art using 2D shapes.

Today is national poetry day. We talked about poetry and created our own acrostic Autumn poems.

Today we worked on our question skills. What words and punctuation  we use in questions. We then made questions to ask P3A as part of a virtual meeting on teams and we answered their questions too. It was great fun!
