Weekly Update 9.6.2022
Posted: Jun 9, 2022 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
The first week back has flown by! All the children have settled back into our routines as if they have never been away and they all seem very happy to be back at school.
In English we have started learning about our new book 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' by David Conway. The children used the cover and the blurb to make predictions about what they thought the story was going to be about. After reading the book the children then wrote thought bubbles for main characters and also wrote questions that they would like to ask characters from the story.
In maths we have spent some time recapping addition and subtraction and exploring the relationship between these two operations.
At the start of the week we finished off our famous sculptors unit of work from last half-term. The children worked in groups to create their own sculpture inspired the theme 'family' in the style of Barbara Hepworth. We then took our sculptures outside to display and reflect on our hard work.
Next week Year 1 will be visiting the Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Wednesday 15th June. A letter has been sent home with further details about the trip. If you have any questions about the trip you can email the Pear class email address or I will be around after school on Monday and Tuesday evenings, if you'd like to talk face to face.
Have a lovely weekend and I will see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
