Stars of the week: Leon and Nyra
This week the children have been learning a new song in their Music lessons with our music lead Mrs Chan.
The song is called ‘Down There Under the Sea’ and the children are using percussion instruments to accompany the song. Leon and Nyra were able to listen to Mrs Chan and play the chime bars beautifully.
In Literacy we’ve been writing instructions for how to plant a seed. You can draw your child’s attention to instructions at home whenever they get a new toy, or when you follow any recipes in the kitchen.
To help us understand the world better we’ve been thinking about what a plant needs in order to survive, like water, soil, sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Next week, we’ll be writing lists. Our book of the week is The Hungry Caterpillar, we’ll be listing all of the foods that he eats. At home you can have fun writing lists for any shopping trips, or lists of favourite things.
In Mathematics we are continuing to look at sharing quantities into equal amounts, focusing on giving one item to each group in turn and asking if it is fair, do all the groups end up with the same amount of items?
For Art, the children have been using water-colour paints to portray a garden scene, inspired by the art we saw at The Garden Museum by painter Jean-Marie Toulgouat. Next week they’ll be looking closely at minibeasts and sketching them.
In PE, we’ve been using all of the exciting equipment. We’ve been climbing on the climbing frame and using the timber bar box to hone our strength and balance.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Miss Hardy
