Science

This week Team JF have been busy exploring animal groups. Our focus was on reptiles and birds! We first explored characteristics of each group before moving into comparisons of the two. The children really enjoyed this and were very interested in finding out more! 

Computing

This week Team JF started a new unit of learning, digital music. To begin with, we listened to a range of music and discussed what we could hear. From this, we had lots of discussion about our likes and dislikes of each piece. From this, we started to think about the type of music we would like to compose. 

PE

This week Team JF started a new unit of learning. To begin with, we practiced a variety of poses to take weight on our hands. These included; front support position, back support position and holding these poses. From this, we worked with a partner to complete partner sit ups and up and over together. 

Art

This week we started our new topic of 'Life at the Seaside'. The children completed some amazing pieces of artwork in line with this theme. They chose a seaside image to sketch themselves. Each piece was amazing and we even have some on our new display already!

Welcome back, how is it the last term already! Team JF have had an amazing start to this week and have been busy with all sorts of new learning!

Maths

This week, Team JF have started a new unit, time. To begin with, we spoke about what time meant and gave lots of examples. From this, we started to explore the 12 hour clock. The children have worked incredibly hard practicing o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to! 

Literacy

This week, we have started reading a new, exciting book- Esio Trot! The children are really enjoying the humour within this story and are desperate to find out what happens to Mr Hoppy and Mrs Silver! As we discussed this book, we found the riddles within entertaining and decided we would have a go at writing our very own! From this, we started to build our skills and knowledge by finding features of riddles and exploring rhyming couplets.
