Summer 1 Week 4

Just as it seems to start, the half term is over! A very short 4 week half term and we have jam packed lots of learning into it. The class have been very adaptable with allowing me to squeeze a variety of lessons into any pockets of time that we have had alongside our Reading the Game afternoons and Monday swimming mornings.

In English, we created a story board in preparation for our own ‘Flotsam’ stories. We revised fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases to use them within our big writes where we wrote the next part of our story.

In Maths, the class learned about time with durations, minutes and seconds, units of time and solving problems with time. It’s a tricky concept to understand so the class have done very well.

In Swimming, our groups continued with the fantastic progress of the last two sessions and we were very happy to see confidence rising already.

We have all entered an Art competition called ‘The Shape of Happiness’, drawing around a circle and including all that makes us happy from our friends and family to pets, football and ice cream!

We concluded our Reading the Game sessions with the fantastic Coach Neil where two lucky pupils got tickets to a Shrewsbury game. The class have absolutely loved the reading, writing and football skills they have learnt with Coach Neil and it has been a pleasure to have him in.
