In phonics we were learning the sk, sn and st blends. We found objects around the classroom to put in our sound of the day box. We found a star, skirt, snow, snail (The Snail and the Whale story). In writing we started learning about writing instructions. We looked at examples and picked out key things that they included. We learnt how to use bossy words to give an instruction. We enjoyed bossing our partners about. We then received a letter from Paddington Bear asking us for help. He didn’t know how to make his favourite sandwich so needed us to write him some instructions to talk him through it.

So we had a practise! We worked in pairs to make a Marmalade sandwich then used what we had learnt to break it down into manageable steps. We had to then write our instructions for Paddington and highlight all of the bossy words we had used.

 

In Maths we have been learning about time. We recapped on our months of the year and made some fabulous collages for homework. We learnt the days of the week in French….Oooo la la! We revised o’clock and half past times, looking at the positions of the different hands. On Wednesday we used paper plates to make our own clocks. We worked in pairs to make different times.

In IDL we were comparing Victorian toys to modern day toys. We learnt about toys for boys and girls. The rich children had different toys to the poorer children. On Thursday we then made our own Jack in the box. We had to fold net to make a box then fold strips of card to make a spring. It was very tricky but we did so well.

In PE we were applying our Futsal skills to mini games. We had to dribble and pass accurately. We learnt how to work as a team and how to include our team members. We also spent our PE lesson on Thursday playing some Victorian games. We had so much fun!

Here is our learning for this week…..

Enjoy your long weekend,
