Week 3
Vocab for the week : Mini-beat and Abdomen
What busy week we have had looking for mini beasts, writing about them, making them and having work experience Olivia from Honley High School join us in class.
The rain finally arrived to water all the plants but made the woodland very muddy.
In maths session this week we were looking at making number sentences with the correct symbols.
We made it real by saying 8 strawberries eat 1 equals 7
Repeat 8 strawberries eat 2 equals 8 Cont...
We then wrote this down as we did it to see the number patterns.
8-1=7
8-2=6
8-3=5

Welcome back!
This week we are learning about a country in Africa called Kenya using the book 'Handa's Surprise',
We are using the story structure to write captions and retell parts of the story and notice that there are different fruits they grow and animals that live wild in this country.
Next week we will look more into the Urban Kenya and the cities, mountains and beaches.
What is similar and what is different between our country and Kenya?
We also tried the fruits from the book and made a chart to find out the classes favourite!
What a wonderful week!
Thank you for all your support at home.
6 weeks to go!
