Good afternoon,
Hope you all had a lovely half term break.
The children have enjoyed being back at school and settled back in well.
In English, we have read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have discussed the story and written about what they like and dislike. They looked for patterns and puzzles within the text. They have story mapped the key events and written captions.
In maths, the children are learning numbers ten to nineteen in words and figures. They have built the numbers using maths equipment, starting to recognise each number has ten in it and and the rest is made up of ones. E.g. 12 is 10 + 2
From now on, we will be teaching a different topic each day of the week instead of one for the whole week.
This week in history, we started to learn about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. During discovery, the children created their own puppet shows to retell the story. They wrote questions for King James I about the event and how he stopped it.
In art, we have been looking at printing through single or multiple copies of an image. The children used their hands, elbows, fingers and feet to create a colourful backdrop to add flower and leaf drawings next week.
In R.E. we are learning about the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. The children have listened to the story and started to familiarise themselves with the events that occurred and how it is celebrated.
We are looking for volunteers for our Autumn to Winter weather walk in Science, if you are available on Tuesday the 19th November please sign up to the email sent by the office.
This half term Aqua will have PE on Mondays and Sky will have PE on Fridays.
Have a wonderful weekend.
