It has been a fun week, preparing for our assembly. All the children should feel very proud, as they had so much to remember. I asked them to just 'enjoy' the assembly and they certainly did. Children from other classes have told me how much they enjoyed watching it and I am sure all the parents and friends who came today were equally impressed.
The children wrote letters from 'Mr Wolf' to 'The Three Little Pigs.' They used adjectives to make the letter interesting and exciting. We have continued to learn the language for multiplication and next week we will continue with practical and recording activities to understand that multiplication is repeated addition.
Thank you for taking the homes back with you today. There are just a few left to be collected.
Next Week
Maths
We are spending a while learning multiplication as it is a difficult concept for the children to grasp. Through lots of different practical activities they are beginning to recognise that it is essentially repeated addition. When recording they need to remember that the symbol for multiplication is different to the one for addition.
English
We will spend the first two lessons next week completing our work on 'The Three little Pigs. 'The children will be writing a different ending for the story. We will move on to 'Goldilocks and The Three Bears.' the children are beginning to recognise the patterns in these tales so they will be writing their own fairy story. The will use the vocabulary of traditional tales and ensure that the sequence of events flow appropriately.
Science
The children will be labelling the parts of a plant and a flower next week. We have our walk to Oakmere Park and Parkfield on Thursday. We will be leaving at 10am and returning at 11.30am. I still need a couple of helpers if anyone can spare the time. This trip is a field study to investigate cultivated plants and trees.
RE
We will be looking at The Qur'an in our RE lesson. The children will be learning why this book is sacred to Muslims.
ICT
The children will be using the internet to find information about the three famous queens we have been learning about.
History
We will be exploring Tudor life and Queen Elizabeth 1.
PHSE
The children will continue their learning and understanding of relationships.
