What an incredible week back, it’s been flipping incredible!

In Science we got stuck in and hands on with a variety of animal ‘poo’ to help us identify what each animal ate in order to classify them into one of the following groups: herbivore, omnivore, and carnivore. After, we identified a range of animals that belong to each of these group and were shocked to learn that a kingfisher was a carnivore!

The animal theme continued into our Art lesson, where we explored a range of British animals as part of our focus on ‘Observational Drawings’. We discussed how when we are completing observational drawings, it is key that we continue to look back at out object, or drawing, before sketching. We also connected our learning back to before half term and reminded ourselves of the importance of small gentle strokes. We started by identifying the different colours we could see in each animal, before exploring the different shapes that make up the body of the animal. After, using all of this information, we sketched our own versions of British animals.

In Maths, we started our new topic on Place Value, exploring number to 50. We started the week by counting a range of objects by grouping them first. We started by grouping them into groups of 10, counting the number of groups as well as how many more we have. It has proven to be a tricky concept for all of us. Next week, we will move onto counting in groups up the number line as well as doubles and near doubles.

In RE, we began our new topic on Easter, and what perfect timing. We explored the true meaning of Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday, and how it is the beginning of the Christian period of Lent. We loved sampling tasty pancakes whilst also committing to either giving something up or making a promise during that period of time.
