1ST Autumn 1 week 5
Mrs Staples - 04 Oct 2024
English
In English, we used our senses to describe a setting, and we learnt to identify adjectives. We also started looking at a new story ‘Look Up’ by Nathan Bryan. The children enjoyed watching video of meteor shower and we acted out being in space and doing a space walk.
Maths
In Maths, the children learnt to order numbers. They did really well when practicing/finding part-whole numbers, and finally learnt addition symbol and practiced writing number sentences. I have sent home a short piece of work to support the children with part whole models and their number bonds to 10 - this is optional.
Other
In Science, we learnt to identify similarities and differences in animals, the children identified some great details to distinguish between a macaw and a penguin. In Geography, we practiced giving instructions using positional and directional language.
In Art, we learnt about different textures and how to draw those using a pencil.
During our music lesson the children were singing using varying pitches and were able to identify the beat of the music. We also played percussion instruments to the beat - well done!
