Unfortunately our week was cut short this week š but here is a little snap shot if we got up.
Creativity, teamwork and problem solving skills were on full show with lots of Kapla structures being created! Farms, arrows and towers. You name it we can build it!
Our new sound was th this week. Let me see those tongues!! š
In Maths we were learning about measure. We had a mysterious letter from a friendly giant giving us some length challenges…
We had a good discussion about different ways of measuring, what we use to measure and things we measure in real life.
We then used some non-standard units to carry out some measuring.
We then went outside and gathered 5 sticks or stones and put them in order from smallest to biggest/shortest to longest.
Electricity
On Monday we were learning about electricity safety and potential hazards in our home/school environment. We talked about how to stay safe whilst using electricity and carried out a spot the hazard activity. We used a great website http://www.switchedonkids.org.uk
On Tuesday we shared how we got on with ‘electricity free hour’ homework challenge. I really enjoyed listening to what the children got up to without electricity and their discussion about the good and bad things about it.
