Maths:
This week 1/2K have been getting active in the classroom. We’ve been enjoying some counting exercises to warm up for Maths! We have also been bringing technology into the classroom during our Maths lesson and working in pairs to develop our team working skills.
English:
This week we have been learning all about independent clauses that contain a subject and a verb with a little help from Beyoncé. We used pictures from our class story to inspire our writing and the children wrote some excellent sentences! I’m so proud of them.
Art:
As part of our remembrance topic, we have been creating Poppy art. First we drew our poppies using wax crayons. Then we used the water colours to create a background. We were able to wash over our wax crayon picture without it smudging; it was like magic! The children talked about using different colours to represent the smoke there might have been or browns puddles to make mud. We also made poppies using wire, buttons and cupcake cases. It was very fiddly but we are so pleased with the result.
Crew:
As part of our We Care Wednesday, we were exploring the nature of friendships and discussing what it takes to be a great friends. We decided that the most important quality in a friend is to be kind and caring.
