Curriculum
Take a look at what we are up to this half term...
English
We have been reading an adventure story called Grandad's Island by Benji Davies. As part of this unit, we have designed our own islands full of our exciting things that we would want to see on an island. We have worked on the story by adding actions to the words to help us recite what happens at each part of the story. We have been enhancing our vocabulary by using adjectives to describe characters and settings in the book.
Marvellous Mathematicians
We have been learning about place value. As part of the unit we have been counting on number lines and using number lines to help identify numbers which are less than, greater than and equal to.
Art
In art we have been learning about colour. We have used different artists such as, Van Gogh and Piet Mondrain to explore primary and secondary colours.
PSHE
We have been learning about 'Being me in my world'. During this topic we have been discussing different scenarios which could happen in and outside of the classroom and the different rewards and consequences we could get.
Computing
In Computing, we have been improving our mouse skills by using 'Sketch Pad' to create a piece of art work.
Science
In Science, we have been looking at the Human Body! We have enjoyed using our senses to identify and describe different objects and foods.
