Summer Term 1 - Week 5

Week 5

We have reached the end of another busy half-term. This term in English our focus text was 'The Last Wolf.'  We wrote our own versions of the story using expanded noun phrases with the children changing the characters. 

In Maths we have been learning about money. In Year 1, we have learning to recognise British coins and in Year 2 we have been learning to total money and calculate change using subtraction. 

This week we consolidated our learning about plants in Science and had a go at doing some leaf rubbings using crayons. We then identified the British trees the leaves belonged to. 

In Art we finally got to make our own scuptures in the style of David Best. We used wire and mod-roc to make our sculptures. This was very fiddly and challenging but we persevered and got the sculptures finished. We also had fun as it was very messy!

Have a lovely half-term and enjoy the weather. We will see you in the next half term. Our topic next term will be 'A Day in the Life of....' which will focus on careers.
