Hello!
It has been a lovely week in Lime Tree with even some sunshine to enjoy :)
In Maths we have finished our unit on money. Both Year 1 and 2 have continued to work on the value of coins and notes. They have also been counting in coins and solving addition with money to buy items.
In English we have finished our final week on 'Handa's Surprise'. The children tasted some of the different fruits from the story and created a word bank to describe the taste, smell and texture of the fruit. We then used the adjectives to write a list poem about the fruit.
For our third lesson in our 'Let's Sculpt' Art topic we learnt about the sculptor Barbara Hepworth. The children worked in groups to create their own human sculpture which then made an abstract family inspired by Barbara Hepworth's work.
In our Topic lesson we recapped on what the equator is and learnt about the continent Africa. The children were amazed to learn that there are 54 countries in Africa and there are over 1000 different languages spoken there.
Have a lovely (long) weekend!
Miss Cotterill
