28th November to 2nd December
We have started a new, fiction, unit of work in our English lessons as we think about the outline structure of short stories.
We have been looking at some simple children's books and trying to identify the opening, the events and build-up, the climax and resolution and the ending. We have enjoyed reading these books and made notes about what the authors have written about in the different elements of the stories. Following that, we have investigated how the opening, build-up and events would have to be different if the resolution and ending was changed, highlighting the way authors lead their readers towards the main climax and resolution. through the earlier parts of the story. In maths, our work has concentrated on multiplication and solving maths problems.
School was closed to the children on Wednesday and we had an RE afternoon on Thursday when we began thinking about the idea of light in different religions. In ICT we started to create a spreadsheet to produce usable data from the water use survey we carried out over the half-term holiday.
Today, in addition to English and maths, we practised for our Christmas concert and made further progress with our weaving frames - now almost everyone is ready to start creating their woven panels.
