English

We thoroughly enjoyed learning through the story of 'We're Going on a Lion Hunt' this week. We quickly realised that it is similar to We're Going on a Bear Hunt!

We wrote sentences describing Africa, wrote past tense verbs describing the girls' actions and some of us even wrote our own versions of the story.

Phonics

Some of us have been revising split digraphs, a-e as in cake, i-e as in nine, e-e as in even, u-e as in rule and cute,  o-e as in rope.

Some of us have continued to learn the 10 different or spellings. We looked at al in walk, our in pour, oar in board, augh in taught and ough in thought.

Maths

We have been learning how to share amounts equally. We solved problems by making jottings on our whiteboard, for example- share 15 apples between 3 children, share 12 pens into 4 pots.

R.E.

We continued to learn through 'The Road to Emmaus'. We created some Jesus artwork and used the iPads to track the journey that we think Jesus went on from Jerusalem to Emmaus.

Science

We started our plants topic this week. We went on a spring walk around school and identified any plants that we could see.

Art

We sketched some amazing pictures of birds in preparation for our 'Making Birds' art topic.

Forest School

We discussed how to be safe around a fire. We made campfire doughnuts. We showed great teamwork, patience, co-operation and we also listened really well.They were delicious!

We also celebrated Earth Day which was on Monday of this week. We played our bee game again but this time we added in a waggle dance which is how the bees communicate with each other when they are looking for nectar.

We scattered some wildflower seeds because we know that they provide bees, butterflies and other pollinators with food. We also took a wild flower seed bomb home to see if we could grow some wild flowers at home.

We also picked up all the litter we could find in our nature area.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING BACK THE TRIP SLIPS.
