English
In English, we have loved learning about poetry! After exploring a variety of poems (we loved Michael Rosen’s Chocolate Cake!) we wrote our own class poems Things I have Been Doing Lately.
Maths
In Maths, we are exploring fact families and number bonds to 20 and then challenging ourselves to learn number bonds to 100!
Topic
In History, we have started planning how we would like to help the world! The children are going to become activists and discuss how they are going to make a difference.
In Art, we have been creating beautiful pieces of abstract art, mark making and blending different tones.
In Science, we are continuing to observe the effects of mould on bread.
In Music we have loved learning In the Jungle from The Lion King!
