Friday 28 September 2018


Hello all,

In English the children learnt a variety of versions of ‘Rapunzel’ they described the scene of the tower and forest and created a storyboard.

Next week, the children will write a series of discrete sentences that contain adjectives to describe the setting along with including commas and conjunctions. They will learn to convert present tense verbs into the past tense. They will finish the week writing a recount in first person and past tense.

In maths the children learnt to recite their number bonds to 20 and through various activities they looked at the pattern to bridge the number to 10 or 20, then add on until they reached their answer.

Next week, the topic is 2D shapes the children will be identifying and classifying 2D shapes, using a variety of sorting devices. The children will create Venn and Carroll diagrams in addition to investigating which shape tessellates.

In history the children very much enjoyed listening to Mr Berridge and learning how different Little Heath school was over 50 years ago. They were particularly shocked that the boys had to go to the toilet outside in a hut!

Next week, the children will research life as a child in a Victorian school.

In art the children drew the outside of the original entrance of Little Heath school, this is in the KS1 playground.

Next week, the children will begin to create an observational drawing of the school and include detail by shading.

In science the children experimented with a variety of objects, they altered the material objects by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching. They explored the materials making observations and simple comparisons.

Next week, the children will learn that materials often change when they are heated.

Spellings for Friday are:
Group 1: said, in, he, I.
Group 2: poor, floor, door, find, mind, behind.

A reminder that Monday morning is individual pupil photographs.

Unfortunately, due to the continued building work, there will be no Harvest Festival celebration this year, but the school is joining in with a food collection in conjunction with Dame Alice Owen School. Donations of non-perishable food items (tins etc) are welcome, which will be donated to a local charity.

Have a great weekend,
Mrs Beadle
