Yesterday we looked at the book "How to catch a star" by Oliver Jeffers for a prediction and visualisation task. We didn't get to look at the cover, and only heard the first 2 pages of the book and then had to make a prediction about how the boy caught a star! ⭐⭐

Today we looked at the properties of 2D shapes. We talked about how many sides and corners shapes have and about where we see different shapes in every day life! 🔵🟩🔺🛑

Today we looked at maths through stories, using the book "Pezzittino" by Leo Lionni.

We explored how small pieces can make something amazing. We used cubes, coloured squares, and Lego to build our own characters and models, just like Pezzettino discovering where he belongs!

Today we read more of our book "The Explorer" and discussed what important items we would need if we were an explorer! We drew what we would need and then wrote a few sentences about why we would need these items! 🌳🎒🚶🧢🔦⛺🧭🗺️

We created some autumn inspired art yesterday afternoon. We talked about what colours made us think of autumn and what happens to the trees in different seasons. We then used different techniques to create our beautiful autumnal trees! 🍁🍂

In outdoor learning we created our own dens in the woods, linking our criteria to our class novel "The Explorer", where our main characters have just discovered an abandoned den are making it their own!

Brilliant ideas, teamwork and collaboration between classes! 👏🌳🌳

Today in IDL we were learning about deforestation. Earlier in the week we did some persuasive writing and learned some good persuasive words, and today we designed posters to try and persuade people to help stop deforestation!

Ask us about the reasons the world needs rainforests! 🌍🌲🌳

Today in French we combined our previous learning about colours with our recent learning about numbers! We then got to play some fun interactive games to reinforce this learning.

These links will be on our Teams page soon if you want to share your learning at home! 🇫🇷🔢🔴🟡🟢🔵🟣🟠

We have been trying out lots of different methods to help us learn our new spelling sounds. We love building our words with our magnet letters & showing our comprehension by using our new words in a sentence.

Our weekly words are on Teams along with different methods for us to practise at home 😊

In STEM we got creative and learned how to make the perfect aeroplane. We listened to all the step by step instructions carefully and all created a brilliant plane!

Of course we had to test them out outside! 😊✈️
