Term 1, week 5

Another busy week in Ivy Class trying to make the most of the last of the hot, sunny weather. Children enjoyed spending their play-time on the field this week playing with a football or enjoying the autumn sunshine. They also collected various items from the field to prove we're in early autumn including conkers and some leaves in autumnal colours. Some play-times have been spent on the pirate ship which will be missed when winter hits!

In maths, children have been practising their number bonds to 10 before extending their learning in to number bonds that make 20. Children were given a number and were asked to find their pair that made 10. Read Write Inc has been taught again in small groups and children have been reading and writing new sounds and/or words.

In history, children looked at other jobs Victorian children were expected to do including chimney sweeps and children made a video advertising a chimney sweep in the style of Shouty Man from Horrible Histories!

In RE, children were taught the story of The Good Samaritan and wrote ways in which they have helped others including tidying up, taking turns, playing kindly, sharing and listening to others. In art, children decorated an ivy leaf for our silhouette display in the classroom. Children have learnt that silhouettes were a cheaper way of having a picture drawn in the Victorian Era since photography was only just being invented and paintings were expensive. Please look for your child's when you visit for parents' evening!

Have a lovely weekend.
