A rather wet and windy start to, what is supposed to be, the Summer Term.
This week we started our new topic 'African Adventure'. We have been recapping on the Continents and Oceans of the World. The children played a memory game, in small groups, to see which group could label their blank World Map first. Next week we have our 'proper' launch with an African Drumming Workshop.
In maths we have been solving arithmetic style problems using all the 4 operations. We have also had a big push on our Times Tables. The children have done remarkably well and lots will be going home today with certificates. Please keep working on these at home. We have also been recapping on fractions and learning about thirds.
In English we have started the story 'Handa's Surprise'. We have been writing sentences using words with suffixes using the story as a stimulus. The children have also been imagining they were in the story and have been describing what they could see, hear, feel and smell.
Our Art this half term is all about Sculptures. This week we have been sculpting our hands using modelling clay. The children did a fabulous job using small tools and their hands to produce a sculpture of their own hand.
Please remember that our P.E. days have changed this half term (a note was sent out on Monday). P.E. will be on a Wednesday and Thursday!
Enjoy your weekend, hopefully we will get a little more sunshine soon!
