Last week the children had a very exciting treat! We spent our Friday afternoon at the library where they too part in a number of activities! First, we discussed the building and it's purpose. After that, they had the task of finding a range of books and their genres in a book hunt. The children were also given the chance to explore the books and read something of their choice. They were incredible as always and their behaviours were outstanding! Although it was a hot day, they walked to and from the library sensibly and calmly. A true credit to us!

​Today the children started to explore Spanish! We initially spoke about the country, where it was and spoke about holidays. From this we listened to a Spanish song counting from 1-10. As we listened a couple of times, we started attempting this ourselves listening carefully to the pronunciation. As our learning progressed, we moved into counting ourselves in different ways such as boys, girls and individually! We finished off with a short game where if the English number was called the Spanish number had to be returned and vice versa!

Over the past couple of weeks. Team JF have worked really hard to complete their final independent piece of writing. We decided as we had worked so hard on our writing skills, we would show them off to our new teacher by writing them a letter to all about us! To begin with, we unpicked the features and worked on securing our knowledge of punctuation. From this, we planned what we would like to share and started to write. The letters are amazing and beautifully presented! A huge well done to all of Team JF!

This week Team JF have continued exploring volume and capacity. We initially focused on litre and millilitres. We identified the largest capacity and compared the difference from this, we moved into thinking of everyday objects and how some are more suitable to measure in litres or millilitres. Finally we moved into using the four operations to solve real life problems!
