Weekly Update 23.2.24
Posted: Feb 22, 2024 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
The first week of the half term has gone by so quickly.
We have introduced the book 'The Smartest Giant in Town' by Julia Donaldson, which is our core text for English. The children made predictions for what they think would happen in the story, sequenced the story and also wrote captions for key scenes from the story.
In maths, we have spent the week recapping addition and subtraction. All the children could remember how to add and subtract within 20 from when it was first taught in the autumn term so well done Pear Tree! We have also started to represent two digit numbers with tens and ones. The children worked hard on Friday morning to represent different numbers and they took photos of their work on the iPads.
In DT the children have planned their Cinderella moving picture and we will begin making these next week.
Also in PSHE we have learnt the difference between a secret and a surprise and spoken about who we can tell if we are told to keep a secret that does not make us feel good.
A reminder that World Book Day is on Thursday 7th March. Our whole school theme this year will be based around the Little People, BIG DREAMS series of books.We would like all children to decorate a thought bubble featuring a person who inspires them. This can be a person from the book series, or another person of your choosing! Dress up is completely optional and only for those who want to, but it would be great to see a range of inspirational people - from Elton John to Marie Curie!
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday.
