We have done lots of music this week. We have learnt that the different letters make different sounds on the chime bars. We know that we can go up the scale and down the scale and that we can change the pitch. We had a go at composing our own music and wrote down our notations. In maths, we have been continuing working on greater than and less than and ordering numbers. In literacy, we have explored verbs and have written our first ever hot write. We did an experiment in our science lesson this week to look at what materials are waterproof and what materials are absorbent. In topic, we are still looking at the Great Fire of London, talking about Samuel Pepys who wrote a very special diary. We had a go at writing our very own diaries as if we were in the year 1666.
In our continuous provision this week we have been making Tudor houses and Lego houses for our science experiment. We have been teaching each other a phonics lesson. We have also been practicing our fine motor skills using the geoboards and ordering numbers for maths. Finally, we have been identifying different verbs we can see in an image.
A friendly reminder that an interview with a family member sheet was sent home. Could our grownups at home help us to interview a family member such as mum, dad or grandparent? This will really help us when we write all about our family member. Can I request that all these sheets come back by the 11th October 2024.
