Weekly Update 10.11.23

Hello!
It was great to welcome so many smiling faces back on Monday. We have had a good week in Lime Tree.
In English this half term we are looking at Fantasy Stories. Our focus text for the next few weeks is 'Where the Wild Things Are'. This week we have been making predictions and writing a description about one of the Wild Things. The children have been using adjectives and expanded noun phrases in their descriptive sentences.
In Maths Year 1 have been looking at the different practical resources we can use to help us when solving addition number sentences. Today the children had to choose the resource (tens frames, part-whole model or number line) that they are most confident with to solve lots of addition problems. Year 2 have continued to work on addition and subtraction. They have been adding by making 10 and adding to the next 10. This week's homework is reinforcing this learning. Any recapping on quick recall of number bonds to 10 and 20 at home would be amazing!
Our topic this half term is called Colour Chaos and is linked to our Art. We will be going into an artist time machine and learning all about them and their Art. Our first lesson was about Pier Mondrian and we focused on the use of primary colours when creating a Mondrian style mosaic.
In Science we did a one off lesson about the seasons and the season of Autumn which we are in now. We went on an Autumn walk and looked for all the signs of this season. We also discussed how the hours of daylight and the temperature has changed.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Cotterill
