Well we started the week off with Music and we ended the week with Music.
On Monday the children had their first 'Singing Assembly' with Mr Jennings. It was a great way to get warmed -up for the week and the children joined in with great enthusiasm. Today the children had a Music Workshop called 'Skylar's Missing Note' where they were learning about pitch, tempo, dynamics and rhythm. So all in all a very musical week was had!
We have continued our topic work this week by looking at maps and atlases to locate the continents of the world. I was very impressed with the children's knowledge and what they had remembered from our work on this last year.
In English we have continued to look at the story of Cinderella. We have been writing thought bubbles and recounts of a typical day for Cinderella before she met the Prince. We have been reinforcing our work on verbs and looking at how verbs change when they are written in the past tense. We thought about the jobs she had to do and acted them out on the playground.
In maths we have continued our work on multiplication and also started to look at division. We have focused on dividing using sharing. Next week we will be looking at dividing using grouping too.
Our Design and Technology for this half term is to design and make interactive book pages. If the children have any pop-up, lift the flap or books with moving parts it would be great if they could bring them in for us to look at. Our designs will have a Cinderella/Traditional Tales theme.
Have a great weekend.
