Weekly Update-4/11/22
Posted: Nov 4, 2022 by: Mr Kyriacou (n.kyriacou) on: Beech Tree Blog
Hello everyone,
It's been a very busy, but very productive first week back. For our writing, the focus will be on adventure stories over the next few weeks and this week we have been learning about the adventure genre, the structure of an adventure story, what features appear in adventure stories and we have just started practising using those features e.g inverted commas for speech.
In maths, we have been focusing on using the column method for addition which involves carrying. We have also been creating our own word problems using mathematical vocabulary related to addition and then using the column method to solve the problems. The children have been producing some super work and it's so lovely to see that confidence from the children.
In science, as part of our animals including humans unit, we have been looking at the different types of teeth that humans and animals have, learning their names and what their functions are.
The children also had a ballet workshop, which was run by Northern Ballet, as well as a skipping workshop run by Skipping School. The children really enjoyed both of these workshops.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)
