Weekly Update 21.4.23

Posted: Apr 20, 2023 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog 2021- 2024

We have had a wonderful first week back in Pear Tree Class. 

In English we have started reading our new class text 'The Pirates Next Door' by Jonny Duddle. The children wrote a recount from the main character's point of view. The quality of writing was very high with most children working independently and remembering to read back every sentence to check it made sense. 

In maths we have recapped how to solve addition number problems by counting on using the number line and spoken about how it is quicker to start on the bigger number. We have also introduced the bar model as a way of adding two numbers together.

In computing we have started learning what a robot is and later this half term we will be learning about algorithms and programming. The children all got an opportunity to tinker with the BeeBots. 

    

In history we learnt about Christopher Columbus and discussed the positive and negative impacts of his discovery of America. This half term our history topic is 'Explorers' and we will be learning about a different explorer each week. 

Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you again on Monday, 

Miss Atkinson
