Chestnut class have looked lots at measuring this week and we started the week by going outside where the children had to order themselves in height order. They did a fantastic job of problem solving, communicating and working out where they needed to stand. Reception have also drawn round each other to see how tall they were which has become a display in the school. Year 1 were set a challenge of measuring different objects around the classroom in cm and comparing lengths and heights.
We have continued to look at protecting our oceans and rivers this week in literacy with learning about the water cycle and writing non-chronological reports about turtles. The children have dived into fact finding and dissecting lots of elements across our oceans. Reception have looked at MOG and the V.E.T in drawing club, drawing and labelling their own cat and designing hiding places for MOG to hide from the vet. Lots included special hidden compartments full of treats and games! We have learnt all about raw and synthetic materials in science this week. We started by understanding the difference and then sorting objects and materials into groups of raw materials and synthetic. We had a go at drawing a map of North Tawton this week in geography using satellite images to support our drawings. We compared satellite images and maps of North Tawton to a village in Uganda. The children picked out the key things that were needed on their map such as the roads, the school and the park. With Miss Brooking, chestnut looked at the last supper in RE, the importance of the day, relevance and significance and then discussing what they think is their favourite meal. Have a lovely weekend Miss Warwick and Team. Comments are closed.
