English – This week the children have continued to look at poems. They have been reciting fun poems in groups and writing their own version using rhyming words.
Maths – The children have revisited money this week. They have been adding coins together to make an amount, finding change from 20p (year 1) £1 (year 2) and using number lines to support their working out.
Science – In Science the children were looking at a range of different trees and the specific parts of a tree. They discussed the importance of a trees roots, bark and leaves etc. Then they drew their own tree and labelled it.
Geography – In Geography we learned more about the way seasonal weather in a polar region is different to the weather in the United Kingdom. The children looked closely at the city of Tromso, Norway. They learned about the typical day in Tromso and compared it to their typical day in the UK and wrote diary entries.
Art – The children completed some lovely paintings of a typical beach scene in the Summer. We discussed how dabbing the paper with a paintbrush causes textured effects. The children had a go at this and I was very impressed!
