Hello Everyone,
I do apologise for my blog being late. The internet was down on Friday afternoon, so I am posting it now.
The children had a busy and successful week. They learned to double and half numbers, planned a story and sorted materials into groups.
We did design the homes for the project. I will photocopy them this week and send them home so the children are able to use their planning to create their structures.
We have been looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy (natural sculptor) in preparation for this week's work. On Wednesday morning (weather permitting) we will be going for a walk in the woods. I have lots of volunteers for this trip, but please let me know if you would like to join us. The children will need suitable clothing and footwear. They will also need a plastic bag as they will be collecting their natural objects to create the sculptures when they return to school.
The children did well with their spellings last week. They are so thrilled when they have good results, so working on them at home is successful.

This week
English
The children have been planning for story writing, concentrating on a beginning, a middle and an ending to their stories. This week they will be writing the stories using their planning. They will also be sorting sentences in an order that makes sense.
Maths
We will be exploring odd and even numbers this week. We will also be looking at 2D and 3D shapes.
Science
As we will be walking through the woods we will be noticing how the Winter weather has changed what we see and what is happening to our outside environment.
History
We will continue to work on our exploration of homes from the past. This week we will be looking at the features of homes.
RE
In a couple of weeks time I will be taking the children to the church to see how Baptism is performed. I will be teaching them the reasons people get Baptised and they will have a good understanding of this before the trip.
D and T
On Wednesday we will be collecting natural objects for our sculptures. On our return to school we will design our sculptures and create them in the outside area.
I hope you all have a fabulous week.
