This week...

This week we have been developing our money skills further by looking at how to find change. The children have worked so hard to follow our new steps and apply their knowledge from last week. In our computing lesson we used last week’s algorithm work to program and move a Bee Bot. The children worked very well in groups to complete different missions. A big well done to those children who completed their homework to such a high standard- Mrs Cobb and I were so impressed!

Well done to our super stars this week...

This week...

I have been very impressed with how hard the children have worked this week, especially in their Maths. We have continued our money focus but have been learning how to add amounts. Some children looked at adding 2 digit numbers on a blank number line and some used column addition. During our Maths in Action lessons we looked at different ways to make certain numbers using only 4 numbers. In our topic lesson we learnt about the physical features of a rainforest. We started our new computing topic by learning about algorithms. We went outside to practise creating a set of instructions. We gave our partner instructions to get from 'earth' to 'the moon'.

Rainforest Day

In our first week back we started our topic off with a BANG! We all took part in a Rainforest Storytelling workshop. We learnt about the plants and animals in the rainforest and even created our own rainforest habitat. We then used this to tell the story of our chosen animal.
