Hello!
The first week of October has come with lots of rain but its been another good week in Lime Tree Class.
In Maths Year 1 have been introduced to a part-whole model. They have been using the part-whole model and numicon to create and solve addition number sentences. Year 2 have been using the 'less than', 'greater than' and 'equal to' symbols (< > = ) to compare objects and number. The children really enjoyed watching the numberblocks 'Blockzilla' episode which represented their learning in a fun way. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0blsqtz/numberblocks-series-3-blockzilla
In English we have finished our final week on 'Katie in London' with setting descriptions of Buckingham Palace. There has been some great use of adjectives and expanded noun phrases from both Year 1 and 2.
For our topic lesson this week we recapped on the timeline of the Great Fire of London and enquired how we know so much about the fire. We then looked at who Samuel Pepys was and read some of his diary.
In Science we have been looking at the importance of a healthy balanced diet. The children all made very sensible choices when creating their own balanced meal.
Thank you to everyone for bringing in boxes! I think we will definitely have enough for our Great Fire of London workshop which is taking place next Tuesday and Wednesday :)
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Cotterill
