Weekly Update 28.4.23

In English the children wrote letters explaining why The Jolly Rogers from 'The Pirates Next Door' should be made to leave Dull on Sea, due to their behaviour. The children are all enjoying the story and are making good progress with their writing.
In maths we have recapped how to solve subtraction number sentences and have continued using the bar model as a tool to solve subtraction problems. We have also started to learn our left and right. Any time spent at home helping your child to learn their left and right would be greatly appreciated. In school we have been using the tactic of the left forefinger and thumb making a capital L shape, to remind the children that this is their left hand.
In science the children have started to learn how animals are grouped according to whether they are a mammal, bird, fish, reptile or amphibian. Today the children sorted different animals into these categories. Again, conversations about different animals and how they are categorised would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, in our topic of 'Explorer's we have started to learn the names of the seven continents. We used the atlas to label our own world map. We have been singing this song to help us learn the names of the continents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DSMZ8b3LE
Enjoy the weekend.
