MathsOver this week, Team JF have started to explore bridging 10. The children used their existing knowledge of bridging 10 using a number line to aid their understanding when using a place value grid. To begin with, we recapped our knowledge of tens and ones. From this, we made the numbers using Base 10, talking through each step. As we became confident with this, we started to talk through the importance of counting from our ones and found the total. We quickly realised we had too many ones and gave the whole tens to our neighbour. The children practised these steps, talking through each with their partner, to gain a secure understanding of what was happening to the numbers and why they were moving columns. LiteracyThis week we looked at how we made our tin birds and started writing instructions so that other teams could make them. We made sure our instructions included imperative verbs and adverbs. I'm sure the children can tell you how to make one at home. MusicToday the children started a new song in music, Sparkle in the Sun. We first listened to the song to discuss the mood, tempo, likes and the instruments we could hear. From this, we focused on the beat of the music. We explored what beat is and had great fun finding the beat in some warm up activities too! Finally, we made our own beat s for others to follow. ComputingWe looked at portrait and landscape and how to take images using these. We took images of objects around the classroom in different orientations. GeographyThis week in Geography we look at compasses, we used these to find North and other directions, we then took our knowledge and labelled our own compasses with with the eight direction on. PEThis week the children started exploring shapes. The children made a range of shapes on their mats including O , n , l, L, p, J, S. P. From this, they started to make the letters V, M, N, P, Y, D, E, Q with a partner. Here we focused on 3 second balances of each shape, pointed toes, strong core (sucking in belly button) body and hands position, points of contact when linking.
