A shorter week for the children but as always a very busy one!
In English we have continued to use the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' to inspire our writing. We have been writing 'Diamante' Poems. These are poems written in the shape of a diamond using nouns, verbs and adjectives. The children have written some wonderful poems. Next week we will be writing Africa inspired poems using the same structure.
In maths we have been partitioning numbers in different ways using tens and ones. The children have worked well in pairs using base 10 to find as many different ways as they can. We have also been recapping on subtraction where there is no crossing of the tens, trying hard to improve our mental skills.
We are continuing our topic 'African Adventure' this half term. This week we have been comparing a typical school day for a child in Urban Kenya with our own school day. We have listed similarities and differences.
Next week is our Skipping Festival and the children have been busy working on their skips. I am sure it will be a wonderful morning for all the children.
Have a wonderful weekend.
