Weekly Update 13.11.20
Posted: Nov 10, 2020 by: Mrs Connolly (v.connolly) on: Pear Tree Class Blog 2020-2021
Hello again,
We have had a fantastic week this week, although we have really missed those children who were not able to be in school with us.
After getting all our marbles in our jar (class reward system) we earned some time on the new trim trail this week. Photos below.
We have also made poppies for Remembrance day. We enjoyed learning about why we celebrate this important event and who we need to remember.
In maths we have spent the week learning how to add by counting on (4+5 should be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). We have also learnt how to find a missing part by counting on for example 7 + ? = 10 (Children will put 7 quietly in their head and count on until they get to 10 (8, 9, 10) we count on three numbers so the answer is 3!
In English we have started to learn all about instructions. We know that instructions need to have 4 key features:
a title - this tells us what they instructions are going to be about
things we will need (ingredients/ equipment)
a picture (to show us what it should look like)
method - this tells us how to do it step by step
The children wrote some instructions to make Teddy Bear Toast this week after studying the recipe for a few days. They should be bringing home their written recipes to see if they can follow it at home. This is part of their homework.
Homework is being sent home in books every Friday and we would appreciate if this could be returned by the following Thursday.
Spellings are being sent home every Monday on loose paper. We do not need this sheet returned to us. Spellings will be tested on a Monday morning. .
Thank you for your continued support.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Connolly
