What an effective week we have had! Our class music theme has been ‘funk music’ and it has certainly set us all up for full and funky lessons!
Well done to these pupils!
Reader of the Week: Esmay
Special mention Pupil: Aleah
Our tricky Maths unit on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages is gradually coming to a close – just a few more sessions left. This week we have been looking at how Percentages relate to Fractions and to Decimals. It would be really helpful if you could help your child recall these simple conversions:
½ = 0.5 = 50%
1/10 = 0.1 = 10%
1/5 = 0.2 = 20%
¼ = 0.25 = 75%
¾ = 0.75 = 75% and any other related facts.
In our English lessons, we have been researching for and designing a special leaflet about Healthy Packed Lunches, which we plan to share/give to a Y2 child next week. It is at the end of Y2 that parents/children choose whether to continue with school dinners or move onto packed lunches, so the children’s leaflets will help the younger pupils consider healthy options…we hope!
In History, we looked at the interesting life of Charles Darwin, which links nicely with our new class story, Darwin’s Dragons, which we started reading last week. In Science, we considered how the heart works. Our Athletics session was a very high energy session, as we looked at strategies to help us when running longer distances. The children worked brilliantly in this lesson - on possibly the hottest day of the week! :)
Our ukulele lessons continued – we are looking at and working on playing the ’12 bar blues’ Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire is turning out to be a firm favourite!
Have a lovely long weekend!
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
