Our learning - Summer Term
Under the Canopy
English
This week, the children began generating their own ideas for our 'Writing for Pleasure' unit. The children gathered ideas and used techniques such as dabbling and webbing to generate ideas for their own story,
Maths
We completed our topic on money this week. The children learnt how to add and subtract different amounts and had opportunities to see how different amounts can be made. This culminated in us doing our very own shop in class where the children had the opportunity to spend money and 'work' as cashiers to ensure they calculated and gave the correct change. They really enjoyed the practical element of this topic.
Science
This week we look at how heat can cause evaporation and condensation. We boiled a kettle to show the effects if heat on water and then how the steam cooled. We have really been enjoying all the practical elements of science this term.
DT
We continued working on a pneumatic creatures in DT. We were able to design our creature this week in preparation for us building and making it next week. We labelled diagrams and designed how the creatures mouth will open and close.
PE
We continued working on athletics. This week, we worked on jumping and had a go at archery. Next week will practice the obstacle races in preparation for sports day.
PE Kits
Our PE days will be Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Children will need to be dressed in full PE kit when coming to school.
Also ensure children have a sun hat and water bottle for when it gets warmer!
