Our class worship this week was led by Lettie, Hugo and Phoebe, they chose some of our favourite hymns to share as a class and read the story of Jesus walking on water. They ended their worship with a prayer they had written, thanking God for their families and friends.
Our school virtue butterflies this week go to Lena and George C for being curious and active learners. Thank you for being role models in our class.
Our maths lessons have focused on identifying pairs of number that add to 10 when adding 3 addends. We’re getting really good at using strategies we know to help us add quickly and effectively. We have continued our learning of time and have been learning to read the time on digital clocks, as well as using the language of AM and PM. The children are being so resilient with learning to tell the time, we’re really proud of them.
We’re continuing to enjoy reading Paddington in our English lessons. This week we used our detective skills to answer true or false questions making sure we were able to back up our answers with evidence from the text. We have also identified sentences with main and subordinate clauses in the text and had a go at writing our own.
The children have really impressed us with their computing skills, they have collected information, presented it on a spreadsheet then used this to produce graphs and pie charts to show their data.
In Kidsafe we talked about how we can keep our bodies safe and how our private places are special. The children know that they are the boss of their own body and are eager to share the Golden Rules for children, with you (they have a copy in their bag). The session letter can be found opposite too.
In geography this week, the children learned about Arctic animals and how they are adapted to the harsh Arctic climate. They wrote about either a musk ox or a reindeer, explaining how they are suited to living in such a chilly place. Next week we will be learning about Polar Bears, please see the home work blog on Tuesday for the children to get a head start on this learning.
On Thursday, we had a lovely time at the library, choosing new books that capture our imaginations. The children walked there beautifully and were such role models for our school. Thank you so much for those who volunteered to join us, your time is precious and we appreciate it!
