Weekly Update 27.11.20
Posted: Nov 27, 2020 by: Mrs Connolly (v.connolly) on: Pear Tree Class Blog 2020-2021
Hello,
It has been another busy week of learning in Pear Tree Class.
In English we have been writing instructions for Florence Lamps. We took the opportunity to follow our instructions and make some paper lamps at school. We have also been recounting Florence's journey to Scutari. We started by acting out each stage of the journey. We all became Florence for a short period of time and we travelled oh such a long way! The acting we did really helped us to tell what it was like for Florence to travel all that way. We even experienced the bumpy horse and carriage ride and we boarded the dirty cockroach infested boat, The Vectis. Our writing from this activity was really super.
In Maths we have been doing lots of subtraction and finding the difference. The children have learnt that they must start with the larger number and subtract the smaller number.
In phonics we have now learnt lots of Phase 5 sounds: ie, ea, ay, oy, ou, ir, ue. This morning we played a bingo game to help us consolidate our knowledge of the ue grapheme which makes the sounds '/oo' and 'you'.
I hope spellings and homework are still going well. If you have any questions please come and see me. There are some pictures below so you can see our active learning this week.
Have a lovely weekend.
