We started off the week by
writing a setting description about the castle books that we made last week.
The children described the inside, who lived there and the defensive features.
Later in the week we had a class debate about the Princess’s dilemma. The White
Bear had told her not to listen to her Mother’s advice and she promised that
she wouldn’t. We made a ‘conscience alley’ which is a drama technique where the
children make two lines and someone walks down the middle in role as the
princess. As they walked through the alley children on either side gave reasons
why she should listen to Mum or why she should listen to the Bear. We concluded
that you should always listen to your Mum because ‘Mum’s know best’.
In Maths this week we have been
learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We learnt the names, number of sides,
vertices, edges and faces. At the end of the week we looked at finding symmetry
in shapes.
In Topic, we revised food chains
by looking at what polar bears ear. We focussed on the vocabulary: ‘producer’,
‘consumer’, ‘predator’ and ‘prey’.
We have noticed that some
children do not have as many comments in their reading record as we would
ideally like. Please could you read with your children at home as much as
possible and make a comment in their reading record. Reading at home has such a
positive impact on progress and would benefit all children.
We will be having a spelling test
next Friday on a selection of the words we have sent home.
The Dance Showcase went amazingly
well. We are SO proud of all the children! Not only did they perform with
confidence and enjoyment, but we also had many comments from other school about
how well-behaved they were throughout the evening.
