In Maths this week we started to look at length. We began with longer and shorter and then we will look at different units of measure. We also had a Moneysense workshop with R.B.S.. Members of staff from R.B.S came and worked in the classroom with us. The children really enjoyed discussing the difference between want and need and participating in activities related to this, as well as budgeting. I
The children have been doing some work on connectives and where and how to use them. They enjoyed watching an interactive PowerPoint with sound effects on connectives and selecting which was the most suitable.
We have been learning about Victorian hospitals and comparing to our hospitals today.
Futsal continued this week and the children had practise at shooting at goal. They really enjoyed it and got very excited.
Some suggestions for activities to do home
Using feet and hand spans to measure items. Discussing other ways to measure things.
Writing sentences using connectives and also putting sentences together with a connective.
My phonics group could write sentences with their e-e words, make up word searches, crosswords and play games on TES and Galactic websites.
Reading their books.
Research on Florence Nightingale. Also the children could do further research on what they have said they would like to do in our assembly.
Keep warm and see you all on Monday.
