BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir

The children had a great time visiting the Mandir On Thursday and were very respectful throughout the trip. We were able to observe the shrines and prayer ceremonies that were taking place. 

Our learning this week:

English

This week, the children have been working hard creating an idea for their Lion King short story based on a character of their choice in our writing for pleasure unit. We have explored the characters and how we can generate ideas using different planning techniques to build our story. Next week, we will plan and write them up!

Maths

This week we finished our unit on time. It has been a very tricky unit but the children have persevered and developed their knowledge. Next week we will begin work on shape followed by statistics. 

DT/Music

The children spent the last few weeks creating their junk orchestra instrument and have had a great time doing so. They were able to create and design their instrument. We will now be using these instruments, along with some others and body percussion to create music inspired by the group 'STOMP'.  

PE

We have been performing and learning our dance for our production as well as learning cricket. The children this week progressed into some small games, learning how to score runs and and work as team to get someone out. 

Science

This week we have looked at the life cycle of a plant. We focused on how each stage plays a vital role and we were able to order these and identify key factors of each stage.
