Weekly Update 16.6.23
Posted: Jun 15, 2023 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
A hot and sunny week has come to an end!
In science we are learning about metamorphosis; specifically how caterpillars transform into butterflies. We have our own caterpillars in class that we are observing each week and recording their changes in our own butterfly diaries. The caterpillars are already on their way to becoming butterflies and have started forming their chrysalides.
In English we have continued learning about 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. We took advantage of the good weather by going out onto the playground to act out parts of the story. The children then each wrote their own recount from the point of view of Stanley.
This week all the children completed the year one phonics screening check. This is a statutory assessment that measures how well children are using their phonics to read. All the children have made such fantastic progress with their reading since the start of the year and I was so impressed with their reading when completing the check.
Enjoy the sunny weather and I'll see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
