On Monday, the children in Year 2 have been making their own animal puppets. Over the term, the children have designed an animal and have followed their design to create their felt puppet. Every child has worked hard to use their sewing skills to make their final product.
Year 5 have recently been investigating regular and irregular shapes in Maths. Ask your child what they know about the regular and irregular shapes.
In English this week, we worked as a team to discuss our spelling pattern ‘cian’ and played a loop game. The children have also completed writing a letter to Grandma Krank (from George’s Marvellous Medicine). They self edited their own work as well as peer marked. Some great discussions with one another and lots of positive praise. Some children volunteered to share to the class too!
In Maths, we began to look at coordinate grids. We tried hard to remember to rule ‘Walk along the ground, then climb the ladder’ to help us with the x and y axis.
We took part in the Google Meet session with Year 6. We listened to their speeches and voted for our House Captain and Vice Captain. It was great fun and lovely to see so many faces across the school on our screen.
Year 4 took part in the Santa Paws competition. We have had a great response from our families. We would like to THANK YOU for your support. This is supporting a great cause and we know they will be thrilled by the time and effort put in by both the children and the adults at home.
The children in Year 4 are beginning to feel all Christmassy.
We have begun our Christmas activities- stitching a Christmas stocking. Yesterday, the children practiced threading their needle. They persevered well- well done! You can see the children practicing their running stitch before applying this skill to the fabric.
Fireworks in a jar!
World Science Day
After thinking of Scientific questions, Year 5 were introduced to the importance of Science in our world today. We gave the children some names of important job roles in the Science world.
The children were then tasked to match the scientist to their appropriate image. They then researched and learned about their scientist’s role in the development of Science across the world. To finish we created posters imagining that one of the Scientists was coming to give a talk at our school, showing what we had learned.
