Weekly Update 11.2.22
Posted: Feb 11, 2022 by: K Simms (k.simms) on: Willow Tree Class Blog
Hello everyone,
It was lovely to see so many of you on Tuesday and Wednesday evening and I hope that you are all as proud of your children as I am. They have made such fantastic progress since September and they continue to challenge themselves in their learning.
This week we have continued to develop our knowledge of fractions on a numberline and have begun to look at equivalent fractions of a half and a quarter. The children made fraction wheels to represent fractions of a whole and we will be using these over the next few weeks to secure our understanding.
In science, we learnt about the water cycle and the different processes that take place within it and the children were very excited to learn that the water they drink now could have once been on the other side of the world!
In English, we have looked at using subordinating conjunctions in our work to add extra information to our sentences. Remember, if we want to add extra information we simply shout "I SAW A WABUB!".
Today, lots of children started their music lessons with Miss White from the Music for Schools Foundation. If you are still interested in enrolling your child, please visit the MfSF website to find all the information you need to enrol! (https://www.mfsf.org.uk/pages/information)
Our homework from now on is in the form of a project all about Fairtrade. Rather than a weekly activity, this is something the children can work on until the 28th March. Please find the information sheet here and the spellings for the week here.
As always, if you have any questions please get in touch via the class email.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Simms
