For the first part of the week we were rehearsing our Mother's Day assembly. We all tried so hard to speak clearly and confidently. Thank you for coming to see our assembly-we hope you enjoyed it.

Then, we started our new learning through the story of Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. We discussed the story and all the wonderful characters. We are going to write our own version and make it into a book which we will read to other children in school.

Phonics

Some of us have been revising ee as in sheep and learning y as in happy. We have also been learning how to pronounce the e as in equal and remind.

Some of us are revising the different igh spellings, we have focused on ie in tie, i_e in time and y in cry.

Maths

We have been learning about the properties of 3D shapes such as cubes, cuboids and spheres.

R.E.

We have been listening to the story of Jesus arriving in Bethlehem, otherwise known as Palm Sunday. We learnt that Jesus was welcomed by some people by them waving palm leaves, but He was not welcomed by everyone. There were some people who were angry and claimed that Jesus was not the king!

D.T.

We have been learning about how to eat healthily. We learnt about the Eat Well Plate and the different sections (protein, carbohydrates, fats, dairy, fruit and vegetables). We talked about how we need bits from each section but they need to be in proportion.

Forest School

We continued our learning about using tools safely. We used a hammer and a screwdriver. We learnt the difference between a nail and a screw.
