I am very excited to have returned to school and I have received a very warm welcome from P4K.\u00a0 We’ve spent some time getting to know each other but we’ve wasted no time in getting down to some hard work for the end of term.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

We started our new class novel “Fantastic Mr Fox” by Roald Dahl.\u00a0 We chose the book as a class and we love the characters so much already.\u00a0 We worked hard at picking some amazing adjectives to describe Bogus, Bunce and Bean (the horrid farmers!).\u00a0 We also learned about similes and wrote some about the characters in the book.\u00a0 We’ve had lots of opportunities to answer questions about the novel, and lots of discussion time in our groups.\u00a0 We can’t wait to keep reading!<\/p>\n

Maths<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we started our maths topic of shape.\u00a0 We have been looking at the properties of 2D shape .\u00a0 We know how to describe a shape using the correct mathematical language, although we are going to keep practising the words regular, irregular and quadrilateral.<\/em>\u00a0 We played lots of games and activities to help our learning.\u00a0 Here are some links to games to try at home!<\/p>\n

Virtual Pinboard<\/a><\/p>\n

Kangaroo Hop<\/a><\/p>\n

Shape Lab<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we have been learning to dodge.\u00a0 We had all played dodgeball before but we took the time this week to think about what skills we needed to be effective and successful in the game.\u00a0 We worked in small groups to practise dodging, ducking and jumping and we improved our skills so we could be more effective during the game.<\/p>\n

Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

During art we looked at the artist Gustav Klimt.\u00a0 We enjoyed talking about his painting “The Tree of Life” and we are creating our own trees inspired by his work.\u00a0 Keep tuned to the blog as we will share some pictures when the trees are complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
