W/B 10/6/24
English:
This week we have continued our Setting Description unit. We have collected nouns linked to a Gingerbread House and have modified these by adding adjectives, expanded noun phrases and adverbials of place. We have also had a go at writing a cliffhanger ending to our descriptions.
Year 1 children have also all completed their Phonic Screen Checks this week - they all tried so hard!
Maths:
Year 1 have been comparing numbers up to 100 and have been using the symbols < > and =. Year 2 have been consolidating their Addition and Subtraction knowledge and have been completing work problems, choosing the most efficient method to solve.
Topic:
Our Topic this week is Science and we have had lots of fun completing activities for Science Week. On Tuesday, we had a visit from Dr Nicholson, a Chemistry teacher, who carried out a fantastic experiment investigating pH levels. We also enjoyed our trip to the Raptor Foundation. We learnt lots of amazing facts about owls and thoroughly enjoyed watching the amazing flying demonstration.
