English: Blue and red group have been doing RWI this week with adult support. Green and Yellow group have been reading Little Red Riding Hood and acting out the story. They have completed story maps showing the main parts of the story and put the story into the correct order. On Thursday the children were writing invitations to Beegu asking her to a pretend picnic and today they have written an independent letter as Beegu, to the children in the playground saying thank you for being so kind to her when she was lost.
Maths: The children have been learning how to subtract in a range of different ways this week. They have been practising counting back, using equipment and counting backwards on a number line to support them.
Science: In Science the children were making posters about a chosen material and describing their properties. They were then challenged to write sentences to describe their materials and a partner had to guess which material they were describing.
Handwriting: The children have been focusing a lot on their handwriting in Class 2. We have been learning how to form our letters correctly (starting in the correct place), practising leaders and descenders to lead onto joining our writing later in the term and remembering to check that our capital letters are much bigger than lower case letters and tall letters are tall, etc.
Computing: In Computing the children were learning about the different features of a laptop and had to label a laptop with a partner. They have been learning how to turn a laptop on and off safely.
PE: The children have been enjoying gymnastics on Mondays and placing movements into different sequences. Mr Bebb has been very impressed on Friday afternoons with the children’s enthusiasm in PE.
Spellings: To be tested Friday 9th February 2018.
