Our English lessons have been fun this week as we absorbed ourselves in Bethan Woolvin’s version of Rapunzel. We have designed ‘wanted’ posters to find the evil witch, sequenced the story onto a story mountain, created a visual story map and retold the story by using actions. We feel ready to write our own version of the story next week.
Maths has involved recapping on different strategies we can use to answer a given calculation, and deciding which one works best for us. We have used regrouping, near doubles, using practical equipment and rebalancing.
One of the highlights this week was on Wednesday when ‘Animal Man – Ranger Stu’ came to visit, with lots of animals from his zoo. This fitted in perfectly with our rainforest and habitats topics. Some of us even stroked a snake and held a tarantula!
Have a lovely weekend and keep warm!
Best wishes
