How lovely it has been to see some sunshine. The children have been so happy to finally be outside without coats.
A slightly shorter week this week but still a very busy one.
In our topic (geography) work this week we have been exploring the countries in Africa. The children have used maps and atlases to find countries and locate on their own blank map.
We have started a new story in English called 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have worked in pairs to create a story map making sure that they have the correct sequence of events. We have also used some drama techniques to retell the story and think about the main characters thoughts and feelings.
In maths we have been solving a range of 'reasoning' problems. The children have been working with more independence to choose the correct operation and the best strategies to solve each problem. We have talked about the importance of careful reading and finding the key vocabulary to help us.
In PSHE the children have been learning about the importance of good oral hygiene. They have thought about the important things they need to do to have healthy teeth. They should all have brought home a leaflet, toothbrush and small toothpaste today.
Please remember in this hotter weather to apply sun-cream to your child before they come to school and ensure that they have a water bottle (containing water) in school each day.
Have a wonderful weekend in the sun.
