Nevaeh spent a long time today making a bear puppet. She tried really hard to use different textures and add parts to it. She adapted her model to make the pieces fit. She was very proud of her finished model. We were all proud of her too.
Matthew also made a model at home. The children in school enjoyed asking him questions about it.

Well done to the lovely 5/6’s who are adding to our phase Padlet of book recommendations! I know this has been so helpful for your classmates, allowing them to select a book based on their interests all thanks to those of you who are reviewing your books! It is great to see so many of you reading at home in addition to participating in your live lessons and work! So a huge well done for me and please keep it up!

This week we will focusing our maths learning on grouping and sharing. We will be exploring the concepts of equal and unequal groups, counting groups and then moving onto sharing.
Today we are going to focus on what an equal group and unequal groups look like.
Once you have watched the video there are sheets to complete. If you are working at green level make sure you complete both sheets. If you do not have access to a printer then draw the fields on a sheet of paper. You could use animals to put into the fields or any other counting objects.
These are the sheets to complete after the lesson.
Looking out of the window today you would never know that we had had any snow last week. It all seems like a distant memory already!
There were some excellent examples of home learning shared with us last week and we have been amazed by the quality of what has been produced. Try to save what you have made so that you can bring them in to school when we finally reopen.
Today there is an important esafety task in the classroom to have a go at. There is also a poster competition that goes along with it so why not get creative and send us your esafety posters. You never know, you might win a prize!
Well done everyone for the great learning you have done this week – especially when the snow began to fall. It looks like you’ve all had great fun! You all deserve a shout out for your efforts; especially Syler-Rose and Vittoria for getting online when they couldn’t get into school on Friday.
The expedition crafting was a great success and I would like to give special mentions to Darwin, Shayen, Tim and Scarlett for their fabulous jars and rat puppets. They blew me away! Well done again.
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with this week.
