Hello everyone, we hope you’ve had a good week and enjoyed all the wonderful sunshine!\u00a0 This week there has been a lot of great learning taking place both through written tasks and active tasks.\u00a0 We’ve heard about lots of creative activities with people making models and pictures, painting beautiful under the sea lanturns for their bedrooms, building planters, baking yummy delights (including dandelion honey), and even making a video as if they were a granny looking back on what life was like during the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Literacy our learning has been focused around the \u2018ai\u2019 sound and the tricky word \u2018there\u2019.\u00a0 We have been writing our spelling words in rainbow colours, making ‘ai’ words by cutting and sticking initial, middle and end sounds and we played a Popping Balloons game which was great fun!\u00a0 We have also been trying to remember our sun, boat and sea letters to help us when writing.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

In Maths we have been developing our understanding of fractions and have consolidated our knowledge of halves and quarters.\u00a0 We’ve been drawing some shapes and marking them to show a whole, a half and a quarter.\u00a0 We practised our sandwich making skills and identified halves and quarters.\u00a0 Some of us went on a fraction hunt around our homes and came up with some great examples of halves and quarters.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

In our topic work this week we have been imagining we are under the sea and we have thought about some of the wonderful things we would see, hear, touch and smell.\u00a0 People also discussed how they might feel living under the sea and what would amaze them and possibly scare them about being under the sea.\u00a0 Some of us made kaleidoscopes which was great fun and others did some research into the different creatures that live in the sea.\u00a0 Did you know that an octopus can flash different colours?\u00a0 Well done to those who were able to explain that the ocean is dark at the bottom because the sunlight does not reach there but light at the top because the sunlight is absorbed and reflects the blue colour of the water.\u00a0 \u00a0Many of us have enjoyed watching the videos about the sea creatures and their habitats.\u00a0 We are all learning so many new and interesting things.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

In science lots of us have been carrying out some personal research into different minibeasts and have been sharing lots of good facts.\u00a0 We’ve seen people continue their hunt for minibeasts and others matching up the habitats with the different creatures.\u00a0 Well done to everyone who was able to label the parts of the minibeast correctly too.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

We are loving being able to share in all your learning experiences so please do continue to send your photos and videos or even just an email with some news of what you’ve been doing.\u00a0 \u00a0If possible can we ask when sending your emails that you copy both of us in because Mrs Clyne is rubbish and keeps forgetting to forward them to Mrs Smith!\u00a0 This would be a great help and means we can both see all the wonderful learning that’s happening.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

With regards to reading, try to enjoy sharing books as much as you can and Mrs Clyne will get on to sorting EPIC as quickly as she can, this week has been very busy with report writing!<\/p>\n

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.<\/p>\n

Mrs Clyne & Mrs Smith<\/p>\n
