Class 2 Woodland Walk

We had a great afternoon in Bicton’s woodland area! The children were challenged to find things on a list that make up a British Woodland e.g. Streams or ponds, Fungi, Leaf litter, Insects, Birds, etc. We will have a class discussion tomorrow afternoon about how our British Woodland is very different to a Jungle/Rain forest

3 Little Pigs

Today we built some new houses for the 3 Little Pigs – A house of blocks, cardboard and straw. We then tried to find out which was the best house. We discovered our house of card was no good in the rain as it went soggy. Our house of straw looked good, but it blew down when we huffed and puffed. Our block house was the best and we thought would be even better if we could cement it together!

Class 4 Update

English

We have been working on persuasive writing this week. The children have been acting as Lucy from our class novel trying to persuade her siblings to enter the wardrobe with her. We have practised using techniques such as exaggeration, superlatives and rhetorical questions.

Maths

We have continued our fraction work this week looking at comparing fractions using bar models and equivalents.

Geography

The children did some map work this week, locating the 10 most active volcanoes on a world map. When they joined them up they could see ‘The Ring of Fire.’

Homework

Homework this week is on Purple Mash (or paper copy if requested). Linked to our Geography topic on volcanoes, the children are asked to choose a volcano picture and then describe it in as much detail as they can. The children are enjoying this topic so I look forward to reading their work.
