Week 3 (18.09.23)

What a wonderful week of learning we've had in Ash class! Well done to Rebeca and Thea W for receiving a Growth Mindset award. Keep up the fantastic work!

English

We have continued to look at our Talk for Writing text, 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The children have been substituting their own ideas into the text during a Shared Write and then a Paired Write later in the week. I was really impressed with the quality and imagination from the children - great job!

Maths

We are continuing to learn about place value. The children have enjoyed using Dienes blocks to partition, compare and order numbers to 10,000.

Science

We have started looking at the organs that make up the digestive system and their functions. We will also be learning about our teeth and how to keep ourselves healthy.

We've had some brilliant Dance lessons, where we are looking at different ways of moving and performing freeze frames to tell a story. This week, the children created 'Mission Impossible' style dance moves, which we really enjoyed!

The children have also been looking at netball positions as well as developing key netball skills such as pivoting and passing the ball.

PSHE

In PSHE, we are learning about building positive relationships with people. In this week's lesson, we were looking at how to keep ourselves safe online. The children were extremely knowledgeable about this and had some great ideas to ensure they were using the Internet safely.

Art

In art, we learnt about primary, secondary and tertiary colours. We painted these onto a colour wheel and looked at how to mix colours to make different shades and tones.
