Weekly Update 19.4.24

We have had a fantastic first week back. All the children have returned to school with a positive attitude and have completed so much learning this week.
In English we have introduced our new core text 'Handa's Surprise' and the children wrote a description of Handa's village.
In maths we have spent the week recapping addition, subtraction and halving. We have also introduced the concept of mass and the children compared the mass of two objects using the terms 'heavier' and 'lighter'.
In geography the children worked in teams to label a map of the world with all seven continents and five oceans. To help us remember the names of the continents and oceans we have been listening to the following two songs.
We are learning about different sculptors in art this half term. On Wednesday the children learnt about sculptor Marc Quinn and we were inspired to replicate a sculpture that Quinn created of his hand. Every child in class created their own hand sculpture using air drying clay.
Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
