Happy Friday Everyone!
It has been lovely seeing you all back in school. Everyone has come back so grown up and ready to learn. Well done.
This week we have continued reading Mr Stink and looked at how he made a home in Chloe's shed. We wrote some super descriptions and looked carefully at our sentences, making sure they always make sense.
In our maths we have been learning statistics and how to draw accurate bar charts. We have all listened really well to our instructions and showed great understanding. We also introduced number bonds to 100. Keep an eye on Sumdog for new challenges and competitions.
In Science we explored soil samples and discussed where we think rocks come from.
On the 1st and 2nd November there was a celebration in Mexico called Day of the Dead Festival. We took the opportunity to do some geography work. We located Mexico and different cities on a world map and on a map of Northern and Central America. We were really good at using an atlas.
Mrs Winter was very impressed with our music learning this week. We have been exploring pulse and rhythm.
