Hello!
We have had a fantastic first week back. All the children have returned to school with big smiles and a positive attitude to learning!
In English we have introduced our new focus text 'Handa's Surprise' and the children wrote a setting description of Handa's village. Here is an animated version of the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocnRQi89nK8
In Maths Year 1 have spent the week recapping addition, subtraction and halving. Year 2 have been recapping halving and quartering. They have also been introduced to recognising and finding a third.
In Geography the children worked in teams to label a World Map with all seven continents and five oceans. To help us remember the names of the continents and oceans we have been listening to the following two songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DSMZ8b3LE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6BE4VcYngQ
In Science we have introduced our new focus which is all about animals and their needs for survival. Our first lesson was all about Mammals.
In Art each week we will be learning about different sculptors. For our first lesson we learnt about Marc Quinn and we were inspired to recreate a sculpture that Quinn created of his hand. Every child made their own hand sculpture using air drying clay. You will be able to see some of these through our classroom window!
Have a lovely weekend.
