Grouchy Grandma

This week we have been writing noun phrases about Grandma. We decided that noun phrases were description around the noun. Here with have chosen two adjectives to go before the noun. These will help us with our character descriptions.

Circus Entertainer

Today we had a visit from a Green top Circus Entertainer as part of our prize for being one of the winning schools in the 10 day Active Travel Challenge in October.  We met before school at St. Mary's Church where we were all very entertained.  We then all walked to school together and children in school saw more tricks get performed during their assembly.  It was a fun and fabulous way to kick start our week and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Drumming Workshop

What a fantastic start to the term we have had! We have been really excited by our drumming workshop this week. We all had our own African drum to play on and retell the story of The Three Little Pigs. 

Division

This week in Maths we have been dividing using the method of sharing into equal groups. We have used a bar model, putting the total at the top and the dividing into either 2, 3 or 5 groups. 

Here are some of the questions we had a go at:

We then moved on to solving division number sentences by sharing.

We have been getting very fast at hit the button, keep practising at home!

Time

This week in Maths we have been focusing on time.

We ordered the days of the week.

Then we ordered the months of the year.

We used language such as 'before', 'after' and 'next' to describe the days and the months.

Then we made calendar wheels and looked at which months are in which season.
