It finally feels like summer is on the way!
This week we have continued our topic work about Africa. The children have been recapping on the equator and looking at which African countries are closer to it.
In English we have been using the story 'Handa's Surprise' to inspire some poetry writing. We tasted some of Handa's fruits and collected a bank of adjectives to use in our poetry. We then used some of these to write our own 'List Poem'.
In maths we have continued our unit of work on money. We have been comparing and ordering money and amounts using the less than, greater than and equal to symbols. We have also been using coins to find different ways of making one pound.
Our Art this week has been inspired by the famous sculptor Barbara Hepworth. We worked in groups, using a range of cardboard boxes, to create our own abstract sculptures of people. We had to think carefully about the size of box chosen depending on which part of the body it was being used for. The children worked really well as a group and produced some great results.
Let's hope the weather is kind to us over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Enjoy, and see you on Tuesday.
