 Good Evening Everyone,

In English the children have worked extremely hard, describing what they enjoyed about our new class story ‘How To Wash A Woolly Mammoth.’ They also wrote their own instructions and worked in pairs to listen and follow instructions carefully. This week was ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’ and the children’s learning focused on the core strengths of ‘Resilience, Self-Esteem and Growth Mind-Set’.

 

Next Week:

Maths- Understanding the numbers 11-20 and finding 1 more and 1 less.

 

English- The children will continue with their non-fiction topic which focuses on Instructions. They will be using sequencing language to order events, and they will learn about imperative verbs and consider the features of a good set of instructions.

 

Science- The children will be grouping materials.

 

Geography- Exploring the different places around the school.

 

Art- The children will be making sculptures using air-dry clay.

 

Big Garden Birdwatch - Unfortunately, we were unable to carry out this activity this week. I will be keeping a close watch on the weather next week to ensure we can get out and complete the birdwatch.
