Friday 14th May

We have had great fun today in Chestnut class for Pyjamarama Day. The children enjoyed listening to some of their favourite stories from home and discussing what they thought the best bits were.
In English this week we have started a new book Hairy Fairy. The children have been writing their own sentences thinking about using vocabulary they have learned and remembering end punctuation.
In maths we have been learning about division both as sharing and grouping. The class have worked with a partner to investigate and used equipment to show their understanding. We are moving on to learn about the fractions half and quarters next week.
In science the children have been closely looking at their plants to see how much they have grown and what changes have taken place. They have learned the differences between evergreen and deciduous trees and how trees change throughout the year.
In art the children have been using watercolour paints to draw flowers and plants from the locality.
