Hello, everyone and I hope you all had a lovely Easter break.
The children have settled very
quickly into the daily routine, they have worked extremely hard in all their
lessons and especially on their handwriting and letter formation.
As you know, the
school pool has now been installed and the children have begun their swimming
lessons. They have made a fantastic start and shown great enthusiasm. Please
could children ensure they bring their swimming kit (including costume, towel,
and any other essentials) every day, as there may be additional opportunities
for extra swimming sessions.
In English, we have started working on our new
class book, 'The Owl and the Pussy Cat' by Edward Lear. The children worked hard
creating subordinating conjunctions to predict a story along with learning noun
phrases and creating a letter with contraction words.
Next week, the children will learn
possessive pronouns to include in a diary entry and use words with the prefix
un- to write a set of commands.
In maths, we have started our new topic on
fractions and the children have enjoyed solving calculations using whole and
halves.
Next week, the children will learn quarters and
thirds.
In computing, the children enjoyed creating digital
music.
In history, the children learnt some interesting
facts on Florence Nightingale.
