Hello Beech Class,

Great work last week! Keep it up!

Maths

This week in our maths we will be thinking about patterns. We can see patterns all around us, in pictures, fabrics, numbers and even hidden inside some computers. Patterns are really important in maths. It’s important that we can spot patterns and that we can spot when they aren’t quite right!

This week I would like you to create some repeating patterns at home.

See if you can describe the patterns to your family.

Have a look at these patterns for some inspiration! 

Literacy

Thank you so much for finding those tricky words! They are all now back where they belong. Phew!

Do you think you could write a note to Miss Froggatt telling her what happened? I think she might need to go and have a little chat with those tricky words to remind them to stay at school!

Foundation

I don’t know about you, but I am missing the play equipment at the park! This week I would like you to design, make and evaluate a piece of play equipment for a toy or teddy so that they can have some fun!

Even though we can’t go and play on this equipment at the moment, we can go and have a look at it for some ideas and inspiration- I’m sure you all already know what makes something lots of fun! You could also use the internet to look at exciting play equipment around the word- I wonder if you will see anything that inspires you. 

Think back to how we have designed things before. We drew pictures and tested out ideas- you might want to try out using different materials around your home.

When we are making we try to follow our plans, but we learnt that sometimes and idea doesn’t work quite as we had hoped so we need to change it a little bit. That’s okay!

When we evaluate we look at what we have created and we think about what went really well and if there is anything that we could change to make it better.

Enjoy exploring the outdoors and the lovely weather that I hope is on the way!

Have a go at some Cosmic Yoga. 

Have a super week!

Take care,

Miss Pritchard
