Is it suitable?

Kingfishers have had a brilliant week. Have a look below to see what we have been up to.

In English, we used all our learning from last week to plan and started writing a diary entry. We are writing a diary entry as Guy Fawkes in the cellar, ready to light the gunpowder. As soon as Kingfishers started to discuss what they were going to write, we soon realised this was going to be a problem. We were not sure what it was really like for Guy Fawkes, so we decided to interview him ourselves. Here’s a picture of our interview:

In Maths this week, we understood why we needed to know our bonds to 10 and use a particular method. We explored how to add to the next 10 by using facts we already know.

Here’s an example:

14 + ? = 20

I know 4 needs 6 to make 10.

So I know 14 + 6 = 20.

What would the missing number be here?

35 + 5 = ? + 32

Every Wednesday Kingfisher have been taking part in a Big Write. During this session they are given a picture to write about. Here’s this week’s picture:

Have a discussion with your child about the picture so they are ready to write on Wednesday. Here are some questions to think about:

Where is the dragon from? What is it called?

Why is it so small?

Are there more like it?

Where does it live?

Is it a pet? How do you look after it?

Will you keep it a secret or tell someone?

Is it magic? What magic can it do?

I like to imagine that it is a really small dragon which you can keep in your pocket but when you need to it can grow huge so that you can ride it.

In computing, we having been exploring how to keep ourselves safe online. We used the CEOP videos with Jessie and her friends to help us to remember what to do if we didn’t feel safe:

This week we applied our learning by using Information Technology in different ways in a safe way. We used technology by:

1) Get creative: paint a digital picture

2) Connect: take a photo that could be shared online

3) Give to others: record a nice message

Are these photos suitable to share, and why?

In Science, we explored why some materials are more suitable to be used for an object than others. Mrs Reynolds showed us four chairs all made from different materials - wood, paper, hard plastic and cardboard. We used our observation skills to predict which one we thought was the most suitable and why. After we recorded our predictions, we tested each of the chairs.
