An unusually cold and wet week in school. Some children have even had hats and gloves on this week at breaktimes.
In English we have continued to use the story of 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' to inspire our writing. The children have created their own story maps and used key vocabulary from the story to orally re-tell the story. Next week we will be planning and writing the story with some slight changes.
In maths we have been focusing on arithmetic and solving number sentences using all 4 operations.
I had the pleasure of teaching the Art this week. We continued our work on sculptures looking at lines and geometric shapes. The children used marshmallows and spaghetti to create their own sculptures using lines and shapes. I was very impressed with their determination and skill. Unfortunately the nature of the materials used meant that the sculptures could not be kept.
Next week is the last one before the end of the half term. This year really is going very fast!
Happy weekend.

I hope you all enjoyed your first May Bank Holiday Weekend. All week it has felt like the wrong day.
This week in English we started a new story called 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have made predcitions about the story using some of the illustrations. It is nice to have a book that none of the children have read before. We also thought about the main characters thoughts and feelings and write a thought bubble as Lila.
In maths we have continued using the inverse to find missing numbers. We have looked at multiplication and division number sentences.
In DT Mrs Hand worked with the children to create their own 'Family' Sculptures using the boxes that you all so kindly brought in. The children worked in groups to do this.
Enjoy your weekend.

Well May is with us!
This week in English we have continued our work using the story 'Handa's Suprise'. We used drama techniques to help us to imagine that we were Handa making that journey to her friend Akeyo's Village. The children finsihed off the week wrtitng their own recount as Handa. I was very impressed with the lovely descriptive detail they added to their writing.
In maths we have been using the 'inverse' to find missing numbers in both additon and subtraction number sentences.
The children have continued their Art unit of work 'Let's Sculpt'. This week they used modelling clay to make a sculpture of their own hands. Next week they will be making group sculptures using boxes.
Wishing you all a happy Bank Holiday weeked. I will see the children on Tuesday.
