 English ✍️

In English this week, the children researched their chosen country and gathered key facts. They then used their notes to write a non-chronological report, organising their ideas clearly and presenting information under different headings. The children used the iPads working on keynotes to create their reports. 

Sports Day 🏃‍♀️

Sports Day was a fantastic event and the children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a wide range of activities. In the morning, they had the opportunity to try long jump, hurdles, archery and a penalty shoot-out. In the afternoon, they showed great teamwork and enthusiasm as they competed in the traditional Sports Day races. It was wonderful to see such positive attitudes, effort and support for one another throughout the day.

Art 🎨

In Art this week, we have been researching crowns and tiaras as inspiration for our metal sculptures. The children have been practising how to manipulate metal wire by twisting, joining pieces, adding beads and creating spirals. This has helped them develop their skills and creativity ready for designing their own unique pieces.

Maths 🧮

We have been using counters to explore place value by counting in 10s, 100s and 1,000s. We focused on noticing which digits change and which stay the same and what happens when numbers cross boundaries (e.g. 190 to 200 or 999 to 1,000). This hands-on approach helped the children understand number patterns and how our number system works.

Music

In Music this week, we have been learning to sing Shosholoza, a traditional African song. The children have been practising the rhythm and melody, as well as developing their confidence when singing together as a group.

English ✍️
In English, the children used a zone of relevance to explore the lion’s personality from our story The Lion’s Revenge on Man‑kin. They thought carefully about his actions, thoughts and feelings, before generating thoughtful questions they would like to ask him. We then invited the lion into class for a hot‑seating activity, where the children asked their questions and explored his viewpoint in role.
