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.

Well we are now in the Summer and final term of the year. Where has the year gone?
The children have all come back (looking taller) with smiley faces and a great attitude towards their learning. The sunny weather has also helped!
In English this week we started our story 'Handa's Suprise'. This story, set in a Kenyan Village, also links nicely with our topic 'Amazing Africa'. The children have been imagining that they were in the village and have been describing what they might see, hear, feel and smell. They have used this information to write a setting description of the village. We will continue with this story next week too.
In maths we have been recapping on subtraction and reminding ourselves of the best strategies to use. We have also bee looking at multiplication and division fact families and number sentences.
The children started their new DT unit, 'Let's Sculpt', this week with Mrs Hand. They made monsters out of cardboard and used a range of materials to decorate them. As part of this unit we will require some boxes please check your child's book bag for the letter about this.
A polite reminder to make sure that all children have their water bottle in school each day and that they also a have coat. We never know what they weather will do and we don't want children to be wet or cold when outside.
Enjoy your weekend. The forecast is looking really good.
