Good afternoon everyone!
We've had a wonderful first week back; it has, as always, been incredibly busy, but great fun too!!
We began with role play in English, before the children worked on perfecting their punctuation skills as they presented speech in their writing. They've worked really hard and done an incredible job!
Art has involved recreating a number of album covers; we're linking our art to our science this half term! We will be focusing on our ears and hearing. We have a number of investigations to conduct; great fun for a class of budding scientists!
In a final session on digestion, we all enjoyed a very active and hands on lesson in science today!! Using tights, bananas, bread and apple juice, we recreated the digestive system. There was a mixture of reactions to using our hands as teeth and manually recreating the intestinal peristalsis as the food passed down the tights, but the excitement as the children learnt was wonderful to see (and I am sure was heard across the school)!!!
We started our new history topic this week; we are exploring events during the Industrial Revolution and discovering how transport dramatically changed during those years. I was amazed just how much the children grasped even in our first lesson. We worked practically and in pairs; always a good thing!!
P.E. was fun too again this week; we have been working hard to develop the skills necessary for rugby and similar sports. The children have thoroughly enjoyed working in teams to compete for spaces and tags! The unit is called; 'Duel, Win, Lose'; a great name for the fun games we played this week!
Well done everyone for all your incredibly hard work this week. Keep practising those times tables and reading the time too. Keep practising those 24 hour conversions as well!!
Please enjoy some of our recent photos; some of today's science and then a collection taken during our final week in school (visiting Greenacres and performing our Christmas play for you all)!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
See you Monday,
Mrs Matthews
