Thank you for your continued support with the homework and regular reading at home.
We have had an enjoyable and busy week this week. Yesterday we spent time learning about and reflecting upon the reasons behind Remembrance Day and the meaning of poppies too. We learnt that the poppies are made by ex service men and women. You might want to watch this animation about the war from Cbeebies. ‘Poppies’ is a BBC Children’s remembrance animation which shows how The Great War would have been experienced by the animal inhabitants of a WW1 battlefield. We enjoyed creating poppy pictures using mixed media as part of our learning too.
In maths we have continued to look at addition and also renaming, when we add the ones column the numbers create an extra 10. You might want to have a go at practicing some more at home (see below), or you could practise your number bonds. .
We are starting to move on to subtraction and have looked at different methods to subtract including part part whole and using number lines. We have realised how important it is to know our number bonds as these can really help us to be accurate.
In science we have moved on from materials to consider whether things are alive, were once alive or have never been alive and have had some interesting conversations about the origins of some things such as paper and vegetables. I wonder if you can spot some things which were once alive in your house?
We have been enjoying writing some poems about what a witch might eat and drink as well as where she might fly and sleep. We have come up with some interesting ideas, there was an added level of challenge as we needed to make sure that our poems rhymed!
We really enjoyed painting autumnal pictures and also practising Happy Hand Hygiene!
We hope you have a good weekend and we are looking forward to our trip next week.
