Weekly Update 12.1.24
Posted: Jan 11, 2024 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
The first week of this term has gone by so quickly and we have already learnt so much!
Our new core text for this half term is 'Cinderella'. The children have written thought bubbles for different characters at different points in the story. We are still focusing on saying what we want to write before we start writing.
In maths we have continued learning about the numbers 10-20. The children began the week by making their own number lines to 20. We then compared numbers within 20, discussing which were smaller and greater than each other, before ordering three numbers within 20. We finished the week by learning how to solve addition sums by counting on using the number line.
In computing the children learnt which pieces of information technology can and cannot take photos. They then learnt how to take a good photo on the iPad by looking at what they want to photograph, holding the iPad steady and tapping to take a photo.
In DT the children evaluated different moving picture books and discussed what they liked about the moving pictures and what they would change to improve the moving pictures. I was very impressed with their suggestions to make different parts of the pictures move in different ways, to enhance the stories.
Later in the half term they are going to make their own moving picture using levers and sliders.
Just a reminder that our PE days are back to being on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days.
Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday.
