This week in English the children learnt how to write an explanation text. We looked at a variety of texts and discussed the layout and present tense. The children created their own explanation text on how to work a pencil sharpener.
Next week, the children will write an explanation text showing
the stages and process of riding a bicycle along with a labelled diagram and
flow chart on how bicycles move.
In maths the children carried out various activities to develop a
good understanding on place value using 10p and 1p coins and 10 more or 10 less
than a 2 digit-number.
Next week, the children will add and subtract 10, 11, 12, 20,
22 and 30 to any 2-digit number. Along with solving addition and subtraction
problems using pictorial representations.
In geography the children learnt what a city is and
identified some major capital cities around the world.
Next week they will explore the features of a city.
In science the children enjoyed observing the changes in ice
especially when salt was added and collectively created a word bank of
adjectives.
Next week the children will learn about Charles Macintosh.
Spellings for next Friday are:
Group 1: all, but, my, her, what.
Group 2: to, too, two, fast, last, past.
Reminder Monday is Sharing Assembly at 9.00am for Sienna J,
Isabella, Louis, Costa, Benjamin and Ava.
Next week it is Anti-Bullying week. The theme for this year
is to choose respect over bullying. For the first day of anti-bullying week,
which is November 12th, we would like the children to wear odd socks to school
for ‘Odd Socks Day’.
On Thursday 15th we
will be discussing safety on the internet which we will be adapting to suit the
age of our children.
On Friday the 16th of November we will be supporting
Children in Need. This will be a non-uniform day and the children can bring a
teddy into school and a cake for the cake sale after school.
Have a great weekend
Mrs Beadle
