Last week we were learning lots in class.  Here are some of the things we would like to share with you…

In maths we were learning to count up in two’s and three’s.  We also started symmetry and looked at how we used reflectors to see the other side of the shape and worked out how to complete a symmetrical pattern.

In literacy, we learned about functional writing and wrote our very own menu for a banquet which links to our learning across the curriculum topic about castles.

Next week we will be learning about openers to make the start of our writing more interesting.

We have been learning lots of new sounds in phonics and everyone is trying hard to transfer this into our writing too.

With Mrs Thompson we finished off our castles that are made out of tissue paper-these look really cool!

In R.M.E. we have been learning about Sukkot and learning about Harvesting through the story of Ruth and Naomi.  We made a storyboard retelling the story of this.

In science we have been learning about the changing of seasons and we went on an investigation into the playground to find leaves of all different colours.  We worked out that leaves only stay green if they are getting enough food from water and sunlight.  If they don’t, this is when they start to change colour and fall off the trees.

Review jotters have now went home, please fill out the highlights page and any successes from home and return by Friday 13th October.
