Week 2, ending 16 November
Posted: Nov 16, 2023 by: Mrs Amos (a.amos) on: Oak Tree Class Blog
A short week, due to our Training Day! But in this week, the children have been listening to some good old-fashioned punk or punk pop songs. Paramore’s classic number ‘Still Into You’ seemed to be one of the most popular.
In English, we have begun the process of writing a biography on Dr Thomas Barnardo. I have suggested that if children would like to do a little extra research on this significant Victorian figure, it would certainly help with the flow of their writing. The more information you have, the more interesting and informative your biography will sound.
In Maths, we have had to revisit multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. Some misconceptions seem to be happening in arithmetic tests, so I thought it best to strike while the iron is hot – hence a similar theme in this week’s homework too. All help would be gratefully received, I am sure.
Football skills and mini games have continued in PE and, from next week, our Monday PE session will be Gymnastics.
At last, we are putting the tubes to good use and we have started our ‘Marbellous’ project in DT. (Pun completely intended). I am looking forward to seeing how our skills develop in this unit – bridges and bends included – as we learn the skills needed to build a marble run,
Have a lovely long weekend.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
