World Book WEEK! Monday 4th – Friday 8th March

Just a heads up that our focus for World Book Day this year will be the wonderful world of poetry!

We are going to be asking children to bring in a plain t-shirt that they can write on! Our aim is to turn the children into walking poems by the end of the week!  T-shirts should be white if possible but any light colour would work as long as they can write on it in felt-pen. Again, we don’t want you to spend a lot of money, so maybe look in charity shops over half term. It could be an old plain shirt.

Children will need their T-shirt in school on Monday 4th March. They will add to their T-shirt during the week, then on Friday 8th March, they will wear it for World Book Day and we will have a catwalk fashion parade in the hall.

Maths

In maths, we learnt about place value within ten. Counting up one and down one, as well as identifying numbers as words. We found eight particularly tricky. Try and spot numbers as words at home!

Phonics

We continued our wonderful learning of phonics this week with a variety of phase 2 sounds including ‘ay’ ‘ee’ and ‘igh’.

In RE this week we learned about the story of the prodigal son and acted it out as a class. We wore different costumes and questioned why the father was so accepting at the end of the story, despite his son’s poor decisions.

Science

In our science lesson this week we incorporated the outdoor learning area and talked about the properties of materials. We found a variety of different objects and explained how they looked and felt.

History

In history, we learnt about royal family trees and how children are selected to be the next king or queen. We then created our own family trees in our books.

Art

In Art we followed on from our learning about line last week to create ocean pictures. Using our different lines to create waves and making them to music.
