Good afternoon, we have had a busy full week back.

This week in English, the children have enjoyed learning a range of list poems. They created their own list poem on Autumn along with performing in groups to the class with wonderful actions.

Next week, we will continue our topic on poetry. The children will learn two poems ‘Things I have been doing lately’ by Alan Ahlberg and ‘Tell me mama’ by John Lyons. We will discuss in detail the layout and vocabulary. The children will compose a list using commas and record questions using capital letters and question marks. Throughout the week we will be also concentrating on handwriting. The children will create a poem and write in their best handwriting for our class book which will be displayed in our reading corner.

In maths, the children used a variety of resources estimating and ordering numbers.

Next week, we will start with re visiting number bonds to 6,7,8,9 and 10 and begin to learn related subtraction facts, we will also learn all the number bonds to 20.

In history we were very lucky to be provided with a log book which was from Little Heath school in 1898. The children enjoyed listening to the notes recorded by the secretary and we all commented on how so many children did not attend school due to illness whooping cough, measles and how different some of the lessons were.

Next week, we will be researching what schooling was like when our school was built.

In science, the children looked at and discussed a variety of materials.

Next week, we will be discussing that some materials occur naturally, and some do not. The children will distinguish between the material and the object made from it.

Spellings for Friday are:
sea, see
blue, blew
flour, flower
The children will be practising these spellings throughout the week during morning work.

Have a great weekend

Mrs Beadle
