What a wonderful first week back! 

Maths

This week in Maths we have started our shapes unit. The children have started to recognise, name and describe different polygon shapes. We went on a 'polygon hunt' around our classroom and outdoor area where the children worked together to take photos and describe the different real life polygons. Take a look at some of our photos below: 

History

In history this week, we launched our new unit 'What did Queen Victoria do for us?' We started our launch with our art objective to make our own paper crowns. This week, the children spent time designing their own crowns and practiced their own paper scissor skills such as zigzags, curling and fringing. 

English 

With our Queen Victoria launch in history, we have started to look at non-chronological reports all about Queen Victoria's life in English. This week, the children identified the features of non-chronological reports and worked together to find these in different reports such as information booklets. On Thursday, we had our 'ideas party', the children worked with their table buddies to write the different question sub-headings that they could use in their reports. 

PE 

We had an amazing PE session with Coach Amy on Tuesday. This half term, the children are working on their throwing and catching skills. This week, the children used tennis balls to practice how we can throw up and catch a ball, cupping our hands and holding the ball close to our hands to protect it.
