What another busy week! The children have worked very hard and have adapted well to the changes this week. I am looking forward to coming back next week, I have missed them :).
In science we were looking for signs of Spring, however we have had very strange weather this week as it normally snows in Winter not Spring! Look at Mrs Gregan’s newsletter to see the video of the children playing in the snow today during break, they had so much fun. We learnt about deciduous and evergreen trees and discovered our class tree is a deciduous tree because it loses it leaves in Autumn and Winter. We drew and labelled our own trees in our books.
English: We researched Beatrix Potter in groups, using the iPads and we had to read some information about her. We then used this information to make a fact file about her. We are starting to read her the tale of Peter Rabbit books and are excited to retell and rewrite them.
Maths: We have continued looking at wholes and parts in maths and represented them by using a part-part-whole cherry diagram. We have manipulated different objects from whole to parts, to help the children recognise that the whole and the two parts are the same quantity.
The children loved the origami workshop on Wednesday.
Trip to the Library:
On Thursday 16th March, we are going to visit St Annes library, we are very excited. We will be walking there so please ensure your children comes into school with a suitable coat.
Let’s Celebrate:
Well done to Patrick for being focused in Phonics and Blythe for her enthusiasm with her reading. Keep up the hard work.
Assembly:
Unfortunately due myself being ill this week, we have postponed our assembly to Tuesday 21st March. There will be two showings of the assembly: 9.10am and 9.35am. This gives myself and the children chance to enjoy putting it together and takes the pressure off. We will be practising next week and are excited to be performing to everyone again :). Thank you for your understanding.
