Weekly Update 4.12.20

Hello again,
This week we have had a busy week doing our last bit of writing for Florence Nightingale. We spent some time acting out a day in the life of Florence in 1854. We woke up our nurses, changed the soldiers bandages and cleaned the hospital. On the next day we fed our soldiers lunch and then gave them some medicine and finally after the soldiers had gone to bed, we walked around with our lamp and checked on them.
After our acting we drew some pictures to help us remember the events and finally we completed our writing. On Thursday we all wrote completely independently and everyone worked by themselves. We had the chance to use our time opening words that we learnt on Monday, such as: first, then, next, finally. Our recounts of an afternoon in Scutari hospital were absolutely fantastic! Have a look at some of our writing below. I know you will be impressed.
We have also been doing some work on numbers 11 - 20 this week. We have started counting on from a given number, especially from 10. This way when we have a 10 and a 5 we don't have to count up the ten, we can just use it to start counting from and find our answer much quicker. We know that a ten is made up from 10 ones.
Next week we are going to start thinking about Winter and Christmas. We will be leaving our Florence work and normal timetable behind, so that we can focus on doing some lovely winter crafts and learning some seasonal songs.
As always, if you have any questions please speak to a member of staff in school.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Connolly
