Magic moments
RE
Our class liturgy this week was based around the book the Christmas story - this is a firm favourite of the children’s and they seem to choose it over and over. We read the book together and discussed the importance of it. We then sang Mary did you know.
We talked all about lent in our RE lesson and discussed the different things we could do to raise money for our Lenten boxes.
Some children have already brought in their Lenten boxes for our partner class Year Five, thank you! Please ensure they are finished by Wednesday as this is Ash Wednesday.
Conversation starter - what could you give up for lent?
English and Maths
We stared our new topic in English this week, we have been learning all about fiction and non fiction and what this means. We began looking at the author Debi Gliori and different books that she wrote. We looked at different book covers and decided what we thought the book was about just by looking at it! We had a big focus on using capital letters this week and wrote some questions to Debi to find out all about her life.
Maths this week was all about counting accurately. We counted objects in one group, then began to compare objects in different groups. We then began looking at the equality and inequality signs.
Science and Geography
We started our new topics in science and geography this week ready to dive deeper in next weeks lessons! We are learning about everyday materials in science and hot and cold locations in geography.
Conversation starter : Can you name three different materials?
Can you name a hot or cold location?
Going Deeper…
My Happy Mind - Next week we will start our new topic relate. We will be learning to have an “Attitude for Gratitude”.
Conversation starter : What would make tomorrow an amazing day? What could you do to make that happen?
Make a plan, achieve it and tell us all about it when we come back to school!
