The  children have done really well to cope with this heat. It has been beautiful but boiling!. The children have been learning a Norse myth by discussing the structure and acting it out in groups. They have also been working hard to learn the meaning of their spellings. The children have finished their learning on money and have begun to learn about time. Their challenge is to make sure that they can tell the time to the nearest minute. Next week, we will continue this. We have had another play rehearsal and started to make our street scene.  We will continue with this and learn the songs next week. We designed a healthy meal in Life Skills and we began to learn about the water cycle in geography. If you look at the classroom window, you will see a water cycle that they have made. We will also be learning more about this next week. 
This afternoon, we have been practising our play. The singing is sounding amazing!!
​

A massive welcome back to everyone. It has been a fantastic week. We have really enjoyed the sunshine. The children have written some character description of Greek Gods and Goddesses and included the present perfect in their writing - not easy to do! We are amazed at how they are unfazed by each new challenge. We have started looking at money in maths and learning how to convert between pounds and pence. If you are going to a shop this weekend and you can, please show them some coins and let them see how it works. We always tend to spend on cards these days which makes this learning trickier for the children. They have been amazing at their first swimming sessions. Next week, we are carrying on with money and we will edit our character descriptions and start learning Greek myths to look at writing a Greek myth. We have also started practising the play.
In Art, we have carried on with our weaving and making stop motion animations. In Music we have been learning all about samba music! In our Friday maths lesson we are continuing with column multiplication and exploring 'Always/ Sometimes/Never statements. 
Have a lovely weekened!
