I can't believe we are in week 6 already! Time has really flown by here in school!
In maths, we have been starting to look at part-whole models and how these can help us partition numbers and also help us with our addition. We rolled dice twice to generate numbers before putting the amounts in the hands of an alien. We then helped alien work out the whole number by adding the parts together. We then wrote number sentences on whiteboards which represetned the aliens whole number and part numbers.
During music sessions this half term, we have been learning to listen to a pieces of music and think about different elements of it. We might have to listen to see if the piece of music is smooth and spiky, listen to see if it is fast or slow and we have even been giving our own opinions as to whether we like the music or not. How much fun we have had having mutual respect of and tolerence of those with different faiths and beliefs, and for those without faith, which is part of our British Values.
We finished our geography topic of hot and cold places this week by looking at the rainforest. We looked at the different layers within these hot places and used oil pastels to draw their own layers of a rainforest. How beautiful the pictures are!
