Hello Everyone,
The children have enjoyed all the fun activities this week. They love going to the woods and it was a particularly special trip this time as they collected the natural objects they wanted to use to create their own sculptures.
We have been studying the work of Andy Goldsworthy and the children were fascinated by the sculptures he creates in natural environments. They were excited when I explained that they would be creating their own natural sculptures. They drew designs of their sculptures and then found the natural objects they needed and created their own sculptures.
We have explored 2D and 3D shapes in our maths lessons.
The children completed their stories. They managed to include a beginning, a middle and an ending and we even got some adjectives being used!
We have been looking at Baptism in our RE lessons and in a couple of weeks we will go to the local church for a demonstration.
The children investigated different types of homes this week and they had to name the features of homes.
For PHSE we have been talking about how we feel when we find something difficult or challenging. We thought about strategies for coping during these situations.
Next Week
English
We will begin a new book next week. It is called 'How To Was A Woolly Mammal,' by Michelle Robinson and Kate Hindley.
This is a humorous book and teaches the children about instructions. They will be writing sets of instructions for different situations.
Maths
Next week we focus on measurements of length, mass and speed. There will be several investigations and the children will need to learn the vocabulary around this.
History
We will begin to look at houses and homes from past times and the children will be learning the names for the different periods of time. They will be allocating pictures of homes to the correct time periods.
RE
We will continue to look at Baptism.
Science
As we have been exploring materials we will carry out an experiment next week to find the most suitable material to make an umbrella. The children will be predicting results and using a table to record their findings.
