Week beginning - Monday 25th April 2022

In maths this week we have moved on from sharing to grouping. The children have been applying varying methods of division to calculate division (grouping) problems. They have been exposed to concrete, pictorial and abstract methods; this showing progression in the children's learning and development in this area of maths. 




































In music with Mrs Pell this week, the children had the opportunity to use the glockenspiels whilst following a piece of music! They really enjoyed have the opportunity to use them. 






In English, we are continuing to look at the features of a postcard. The children are having the opportunity to apply their knowledge of these features in their writing. 

In art, we began exploring the work of Henri Rousseau. We learnt lots about him that we didn't know before. Collectively, we shared images of Rousseau's work and discussed our likes and dislikes. The children then recorded this in their sketch books. 

On Monday we had a brilliant PE lesson, the children learnt about the effective techniques of throwing and catching. The children were able to apply their skills through the games we played. 

In Geography, we began learning about the equator and the North and South pole, we spoke a little bit about the climate zones but will be looking at this further next week. 

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend, see you on Tuesday. Don't forget your swimming kit!

 Last week in science we were identifying the parts of a plant. The child have been able to recall the names of the parts of a plant well. The children used different materials to represent the different parts of a plant. On completion of their model, the children labelled their creations! This week the children have been learning about the functions of the parts of a plant, they recorded these in a table.  We have begun our athletics learning and preparation for sports day. 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!). We began by recappin

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.
