Tickled Pink

• We enjoyed learning about the Skeleton. We practised naming some of the bones and then labelling them on our class mates. One of the facts that really surprised us is that babies have 300 bones but adults only have 206 bones. This is because as we grow, some bones join together.

• We were mind blown by chimney sums in maths. We added big numbers together (up to thousands). With some practise of how to lay out the sums correctly we will be even more confident.
• Learning about the seven continents for our next topic was really interesting. We listened to songs about the continents and ordered them in size – did you know that Australia is the smallest one? Following this, we have been researching some countries within Europe on the iPads and started making PowerPoints.
• It was fun to use our imaginations for writing as we created our own Narrative text. We chose an animal for the main character and then they had a complication (which was getting stuck) and then a resolution (someone rescuing them).

 

Green for Growth

• Fraction loop cards during outdoor learning was a bit tricky as some people forgot to count the total parts and were just focusing on the coloured part and then white parts. We also need to practise saying the fractions correctly.
• Sketching flowers in a vase was a bit tricky for some children as we have not done much sketching. We also went over the different parts of plants and what they are for to help the plant grow.

 

Our Lead Learners next week are Rosa and Adam – well done!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Wallace!
