The most exciting thing to happen this week in our class has definitely been our trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park!
This trip has really helped to bring our topic of 'African Adventure' to life and allowed the children to see some of the 'Big 5' animals that they learnt about last week. All the children were so well behaved and the trip led to some interesting discussions about different animals. I am sure you had some very tired children on Wednesday night! Next week we have an African Drumming workshop to look forward to.
In maths the children have started to learn about weight by comparing the weight of two different objects using the vocabulary of 'lighter', 'heavier' and 'equal' and they have measured the weight of objects using scales and cubes.
In science the children have learnt about different habitats and the animals that live there. Every child researched a habitat using fact files, photographs and books. All the children produced some very high quality work and could recall facts about what they had learnt.
Just a reminder that now the weather is getting hotter please make sure you put sun cream on your child before they arrive at school and that they bring a sun hat to school to help keep them cool.
This week all children are bringing home a book to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee called 'Queen Elizabeth - A Platinum Jubilee Celebration'. This is theirs to keep so it does not need to be returned to school!
Enjoy the weekend.
