Term 1, week 4

Another busy week in Ivy Class.

Children enjoyed sports day on Tuesday and everyone participated with enthusiasm. Their methods for going through a hoop were particularly entertaining!

In Art, children have been using crayons and pencils to draw in the style of Monet and in history children looked at the life of children working down mines in the Victorian Era, some as young as 5. Children crawled through tunnels (fashioned from chairs and black cloth) and pretended to open and shut the trap door. I think the children appreciated how hard it was for children two hundred years ago.

In maths, we have been comparing numbers under 20 and understanding the concept of more than and less than. Children are able to write number sentences, use manipulatives and say which number is more, less or equal.

Well done to Yahya, Joweria, Ella, Aristela and Betsy who were this week's fabulous pot winners, and to Joe and Noah S who were in the Golden Book and Hristo for winning the TTRS prize on Monday.
