week commencing 30th November 2017

This week the children have been learning about the Gunpowder Plot, Bonfire Night and Guy Fawkes.

We have started introducing more comprehension activities in class so that the children understand that the text they read has a meaning and learn how to to look for the answers in their reading.

The children have been learning about the purpose of adjectives, nouns and verbs in sentence structures and have created simple firework poems to apply this knowledge.
Gold -  sparklers - fizzing
Blue - catherine wheel - spinning
(adjective - noun - verb)

In maths we have been adding 10 to any given number and recognising that although the 'tens' number changes the 'ones' in the answer remain the same because of the zero.
3 + 10 = 13
13 + 10 = 23

We took the verbs from our English work into PE and used our bodies to created the movements as we became human fireworks.  Ask your child to show them how fireworks zoom, twirl, spiral, explode and pop!

Homework starts again this week - there will be a discussion activity each week as well as the challenge to read school books five time a week. Look out for the reading menu in the front of the children's homework books this week.
