We have had a fun-filled week in Pear Class. The children have all worked really hard this week despite coming up to the end of the half-term.
In art, we learnt about the sculptor Michelle Reader and the children enjoyed creating their own monsters using recycled materials.
As part of our topic 'African Adventure' the children used atlases to locate and label different countries in Africa and produced some detailed work.
In English the children re-told the story of 'Handa's Surprise', incorporating all their previous hard work on using adjectives to describe the different animals and fruits from the story. We also acted out and freeze framed key parts of the story which the children really enjoyed.
In maths the children have learnt about days of the week, months of the year and are beginning to learn how to tell the time on an analogue clock. This week we have learnt about o'clock and next week we will be learning how to read half past. We have also been playing lots of games of 'What's the Time Mr Wolf' to practise reading different times on the clock.
Next week we will be celebrating the Queen's Jubilee on Friday 27th May before breaking up for a well earned week off.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and see you again on Monday!
