Maths

In Maths this week we have been focusing on 2D shapes. recognising the different shapes, finding 2D shapes in everyday objects, naming shapes and making pictures out of shapes.

PE

In dance we learned a new routine, the Macarena. This fits in nicely with our topic of line dancing as the routine has simple movements, that have to be syncronised with the other people in our line and involves rotating to do the dance in different directions.


Then we learnt a weekend favourite, Saturday night. This more up tempo routine challenged the children to listen to the music and keep to the beat.

Science
Would you look at our beans! They have shot up!

I would also like to hand out a certificate to all of you parents, for trying your hardest to read with your children. It makes such a massive impact to their learning and I'm so pleased that you're as serious about your child's learning as we are in Class One.

Jam sandwiches and 10 heads?

English

We've been reading the little red hen all in preparation for writing a sequel, the little red hen 2. To help with our planning we had to make jam sandwiches.

                                      

We cut the bread

Spread the jam

 

Caught you red handed having a sneaky off cut of bread.

Then the best bit eating the sandwich

Art

The children have been learning about the artist David Hockney. They tried to recreate his cubism style. 

The children took lots of pictures using the ipads from different angles of each other.

Then they cut the pictures up, I think they turned out wonderfully. Here are some examples.  

Science
The bean plants are coming along nicely, it would be nicer if a few more would wake up and pop out of the soil...

So along with our weekly observation of the plants we have been looking at garden plants. Identifying a few flowers and giving responses about them.

RE
In RE we have been learning about Harvest and how to appreciate nature. Sukkot is a feast Jewish people celebrate to be thankful to God for the natural world. We did this by having our own feast.

Maths
In maths we have been making 5 and 10 in different ways. trying to be practical and working mathematically. 

Computing
In computing we are working on the basics; turning on the laptop, using a keyboard, using a mouse and logging in. We used some maths games to practice using the left and right click of the track pads on the laptop.
