Welcome back Owls and to all our pupils at school. It has been a busy and productive week and we are all feeling a little tired after completing our brilliant learning and activities!
Writing super sentences and what makes a super sentence has been the focus in English this week. Owls can identify the role of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in their writing and have produced some very good descriptive sentences. We are enjoying the book ‘The pebble in my pocket’ and by the end of the topic will have written descriptive passages based on the book and a short story.
Maths has been practical and securing lots of concepts. Base 10, counters and place value charts have been used in abundance! Great work Owls using lots of vocabulary and sentence stems.
In Science we have started to learn about rocks. We started with our knowledge harvest to find out what we knew and what we would like to know about rocks. Alex asked the question – ‘What types of rocks are there?’ So we watched videos to find out what rock types there are and how they are formed. The children were fascinated by the different ways a rock could be made. I wonder if they can tell you the 3 main rock types…… Next week we will look up close at different rock examples.
The photos say it all really! A fantastic start to our gymnastics unit. Partner balance work and developing sequences.
