Weekly Update Friday 10th May 2024

A Summary of Our learning:

The sun has finally made an appearance this week and we have loved getting outside in our science lesson to explore the plants that we can see. We also set up an enquiry to see how a seed will grow into a plant- have a look on our windows to see how they are growing overtime! In maths, the children finished learning about capacity by answering word problems. The children finished writing their Lost and Found stories and are excited for you to read them at parents evening in a few weeks!  

Our learning next week:

 

English

The children will start our unit on poetry. The children will learn the text map, understand the features of poetry and will practise writing noun phrases and using suffixes.

Spelling

Their spelling words are worm, word, world, worth, worse, worst, work 

Maths

The children will revisit addition. They will practise the skills of column method and renaming.  

Science

The children will set up comparative investigation that shows what plants need to grow.
