Well February has arrived!
This week we have continued work on our geography topic 'Yeadon Explorers'. The children have been creating their own maps of the school grounds using a key. We have looked at aerial photos of the local area and school grounds to help. We also had a little walk round the school grounds. I was very impressed with their results.
In maths we have been focusing on division. We have been recapping on 'grouping' and 'sharing' and using both to solve division number sentences. We have also been investigating odd and even numbers and doubling and halving. We will be continuing to work on our quick mental recall of our 2's 5's and 10's time tables so any work at home would be much appreciated.
This week we also started our unit of writing on Instructions. The children have been looking at different instructions and identifying their 'Key Features'. We have been writing command sentences using imperative (bossy) verbs. The children have also been following instructions. They enjoyed making Friendship Bracelets following a set of written instructions.
In D.T. we have continued to explore moving parts. The children have been using wheel mechanisms to create moving parts.
Enjoy your weekend.
