Weekly Update 4.2.22
Posted: Feb 4, 2022 by: K Simms (k.simms) on: Willow Tree Class Blog
Hello everyone,
Story Telling Week has taken place this week and the children have had lots of opportunities to talk about the books they love, the books they want to read and the books they would recommend to others. We have taken part in the whole school 'DEAR' (Drop Everything And Read) and it has been very exciting to wonder when the school bell will ring and we have to stop what we are doing and read our class book 'Kid Spy'.
In maths, we have started our new topic of fractions and I have been extremely impressed with how much the children have been challenging themselves to take their learning to new heights and develop their understanding.
In English, we have continued reading and commentating on Grandpa Chatterji and the children have practised using their expression and intonation to bring the story to life.
In music, we have been practising our body percussion skills and have followed body percussion routines to well-known songs such as Wellerman and Can't Stop The Feeling to help develop our understanding rhythm and pulse to get ready to sing some new songs. These body percussion songs can be found on YouTube and are a great way to develop musical awareness, particularly for those learning new instruments.
Homework will be sent home tonight (please download here) and is due back on Wednesday. The new chapter of Tick Tock cafe can be found here and the book cover template can be found here.
Please keep reading and practising your times tables ready for next week's Awards Test.
Have a fantastic weekend,
Miss Simms
