This week just seems to have flown by!
On Tuesday we had a Dance and Drama Workshop led by the Northern Art Factory. This gave the children a chance to recap on their work about The Great Fire of London. They all showed a real depth of knowledge about his topic and thoroughly enjoyed the session.
Our topic this half term is 'The Amazing Artists Time Machine'. This week we have been learning about L.S. Lowry. The children have enjoyed creating their own matchstick people. I have been very impressed with their artist talents!
In English we have been looking at the book 'The Emperor of Absurdia'. The children have enjoyed listening to this fantasy story and using expanded noun phrases to describe the characters.
In maths we have been focusing on addition and subtraction. We have been learning different strategies to solve problems both written and mental. We have also been using equipment and drawing representations.
In PE the children will be doing dance and gymnastics this half term. It can get warm in the hall so wearing shorts under tracksuit bottoms might be useful this half term.
We have started to listen to the songs for our Christmas Performance. I am sure the children will be very excited that they will get to have a proper Christmas performance this year.
Have a great weekend!
