Week beginning - Monday 18th October 2021

This week we recognised the importance of celebrating Black History Month. I spoke to the children about the important of these and the reasons behind why we celebrate Black History Month. We looked at some examples of famous people who are celebrated during this time. 


In History this week we looked at the history of toys. The children kindly brought in toys they play with now and toys that their Grandparents perhaps played with when they were younger. We sorted the toys into old and new. The children shared information about the toys they brought it and we looked for clues that determine it's age. 







 


Have a lovely half term.

This week the children recalled and added to their knowledge of long jump. We discussed the technique in detail and it was modelled to the children before having a go themselves. The children measured their own jumps using the metre sticks. The children are showing a greater understanding and confidence of measuring length this year.  Pancake making - Group 2 Our maths learning has been focused around measuring this week (frustratingly Miss Blake forgot to take any pictures earlier this week!).

This week we enjoyed being Geographers! Using a map of the school the children negotiated their way round and decided whether different features within the school grounds were human or physical. We shared a Powerpoint presentation to remind ourselves of what human and physical features were, along with the examples on the Powerpoint, the children were able to give their own examples too. The children used the map that I had made for them but were very resourceful in adding additional diagrams and labels to their maps.
