Week Beginning 27.01.20

Date: 22nd Jan 2020 @ 8:11am

Robins have had another busy and exciting week!  

Next week, Robins Class will continue reading their non-fiction text ‘Big Blue Whale’ by Nicola Davies. We will begin the week by finding similes used in the text. We will then generate our own similes and use these to create a simile poem all about whales. Towards the end of the week we will be retrieving information from the book to help us write an informative leaflet about whales and what/how they eat.

In maths we will be solving problems using multiplication and division. The children are absolutely loving our new Power Maths Books.

In History we will be making comparisons and contrasts between the Stone Age and the Iron Age using a lovely non-fiction text called ‘A Street Through Time’.

This week in Art, Robins will be carrying out an artist study on Bernard Leach, a British Studio Potter. They will be making close observations of his work, considering the story behind each piece of pottery.

Robins spellings for the test on Friday 31^st January will continue to look at words with the suffix –ation. This week the ‘e’ must be dropped from the root word before the suffix is added.

preparation, admiration, sensation, exploration, reservation, imagination, restoration, adoration

We have noticed that more children are reading regularly at home – keep this up Robins! Parents, please try to remember to sign your child’s diary 3 times per week so they can earn their raffle ticket.

As always, if you have any questions or queries please pop in to speak to us.
