Happy St Patrick's Day and Welcome to your Friday blog

This week we have enjoyed reading our story Toro, Toro and learned lots about bullfighting. We wrote some information texts using what we learned to write our sentences. We also wrote a lovely piece as Antonio, the main character, when he learned that his best friend, Paco the bull might have to fight in the corrida.

In Maths we learned all about angles and 2D shapes. We revisited our learning on right angles and remembered our 2d shapes from last term.

In our History learning this week we learned all about Ancient Egyptian society and what jobs people had at that time. We also investigated some Ancient Egyptian wall art and tried to identify the people in the picture. It was interesting to work as historians and use our evidence and interpretations.

In PSHE we further explored diversity and community with the Premier League's Primary Stars programme. We loooked at some vocabulary and described what these words meant to us.

In Science, we looked at the results of the investigation to find out which soil is best for growing different kinds of seeds. We've realised that sand does not have any organic matter in it and the seeds have not grown so this must be important for germination. We then continued to research the functions of each plant part. Finally we had a visit from the chicks - amazing!

We also had a great time with Freddie Fit this week. He taught us all about keeping a balanced diet and an active lifestyle. You can see our pictures on the school Twitter.

Home Practice

Keep up with the regular reading with your children. We are meeting a lot of texts in our curriculum this term and reading fluency is key to accessing lots of new learning.

We have set some new challenges on Sumdog today. Some of you are still not aceassing the platform regularly. If you'd like some help with accessing Sumdog, let is know and we will help where we can. 

Continue to count with your children at home. Sing our songs and quiz your child. What number comes next? What is the missing number?
