What we have been learning about this week
Week 2:
English:
This week in English we have been writing informal letters. We have used Harry Potter as our inspiration and imagined that we were also joining Hogwarts and writing home to a loved one to tell them about what we'd done since our arrival. We wrote about the journey on the Hogwarts Express, the sorting hat and our first flying lesson! The children used their knowledge of layout and language to write a letter fulfilling their brief.
Maths:
We have been continuing our unit on place value this week and have been partitioning numbers up to 10,000! We have done this both practically and using written methods. Hopefully the children's homework will reflect what they have learnt.
PE:
This week we began our unit on hockey. The children learnt how to hold a hockey stick safely and we then began learning how to pass a ball accurately to a partner using the 'push pass' The children we so well behaved an engaged throughout the whole lesson- I loved it and I really hope they did too!
Science:
Last week we looked at solids, liquids and gases. This week we looked at items which 'push the boundaries' and sometimes make it a little difficult to place them into just one category! See if your child can remember what any of these were!
Have a lovely weekend!
Week 1:
What a fantastic first week back we have had! The children have all settled beautifully into Kingfishers class and have all worked really hard- what a great first impression!
In English this week we have begun our unit on Harry Potter, writing descriptions of some of the main characters and settings. The children have used: adjectives, adverbs, alliteration and similes.
In maths we have been looking at the place value of numbers up to 1000.
In science we have begun thinking about properties such as solid, liquid and gas. We used water balloons to get a hands on approach to each of these.
In Art this afternoon we created our own mythical creatures which we are going to perfect and send off to a competition with the hope of winning a visit to the Harry Potter Studios!
Have a wonderful weekend!
