Another busy half term comes to an end!
Although it has been a short half term, it has certainly felt like a busy and productive time!
In maths this week, we have started our new unit on fractions. A practical lesson on Thursday helped us to recap on previous learning from KS1 and stands us in a good place to progress with this further after half term.
In English we continued with our work on Haikus. We finished our work on syllables and started to write our own poems about spring. These have come out great and the children have really enjoyed working on fitting words into the strict syllable pattern that a Haiku demands.
On Friday we completed our DT unit on bread making. We worked in groups of 6 to follow the bread making instructions and then shared the mixture between them to knead, shape and add their own ingredients. These were then baked in the oven in the afternoon with the help of Miss Sanderson! It was a great end to the topic and so nice to see the children enjoying the final product that they had worked on for the last 5 weeks. I have attached the recipe we used below for our bread if anyone wants to have a go at home!
Have a great week off everyone!
Enjoy the break!
