Weekly Update 20.1.2023
Posted: Jan 19, 2023 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
In maths the children have been learning how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. We have done a lot of practical maths this week by making groups of 2, 5 and 10 objects and counting how many there are altogether. There have been some good discussions about the patterns that we can see and how we know if we will say a number, just by looking at the digits the number ends in.
In science this week we have continue learning about materials. The children learnt that different materials are used for different uses, depending on the properties of the material. We went for a walk around the school grounds to see which materials have been used to make different objects and to discuss why we think these materials were chosen.
In English, the children have retold the story of 'Traction Man'. As a class, we acted out different parts of the story, created our own story map and said every sentence before we started writing. All the children produced work of a high quality and wrote independently. I am very proud of the progress they have made.
Please remember that Monday 23rd January is a training day, so school will be closed to children. I will see you again on Tuesday 24th January.
