This week in…
Dance… we have had fun choreographing our toy soldier dance and are learning about synchronisation and movements in canon.
Writing/computing...this week we have enjoyed publishing our gorilla reports using the computers. We have written a diary entry from Hannah’s point of view and are practising writing direct speech using a speech sandwich.
Shared Reading: We love our 50 Animal Stories book and have enjoyed exploring vocabulary and answering questions about ‘Why Hippo lives in water’
Maths: This week we have used place value counters to recap the column addition method and have extended this to adding 4-digit numbers.
PE: PE will continue to be on Mondays and Fridays with Mr Ault. Dodgeball and Netball at the moment.
Worship/PSHCE: We have enjoyed listening to Mrs Powell’s story about being part of the same team. We are all contributing to a gorgeous piece of sunflower Artwork which we have been inspired to create by Henry Fraser. During our PSHCE session we watched the second part of the growth mindset video clip and created our own statements for both fixed and growth mindset.
Science: We have really enjoyed investigating which materials allow the current to flow through the circuit and make the bulb light up in our electricity topic.
Music: We are beginning to learn to sign ‘Little Donkey’ and ‘Jingle Bells’
