MathsThe children of Team JF started exploring column addition. We started off by recapping what we already knew about numbers and their values. From this, we partitioned into tens and ones using the place value grids and added each column separately to reach our answer. As our learning progressed, we moved into setting out our calculations accurately using one number per square. The children had lots of opportunities to practice setting this out using their whiteboards. LiteracyToday in Team JF we discussed that Mr. Holmes has seen our Tin Birds and would like to know how to make them for his class. Therefore, we agreed that we will look at writing some instructions so that Team CH can make them later in the year. In order to do this, we first need to understand what instructions are and what their purpose is. We looked at a set of instructions together and identified some important features. We then split off into groups to look at another set of instructions as a team, and discuss the features that make them successful. At the end of the lesson we came back together and collated our ideas into a list, which included: short sentences, a title, easy to understand, includes pictures, includes an equipment list, and includes steps which are in order. We agreed that these are all features which we will need to include in our own instructions when we write them next week. PEThis week we started a new unit of gymnastics, the children tried really hard to balance, we looked the starting position of a jump and a bending their knees to land safely. They did amazing well done Team JF! REThis week we looked at special stories, we looked at a special story for Judaism, called The Crying Camel and why that book was special to that religion. We then spoke about what stories are important to us and why. DTThis week in DT week evaluated our fruit kebabs, we looked at what went well, what went wrong and how we fixed this and what we could do next time. We did have a problem as we couldn't find any strawberries because of the time of year so we had to swap that fruit with another to create our kebabs. Children in need/PSHEOn Friday the children enjoyed eating buns from the bun sale and taking part in activities at play time. Each class took part in finding spots outside, whoever did it in the quickest time won! We then spoke about why we are raising money for the charity and completed a mindfulness colouring activity of Pudsey. ComputingThis week in computing we looked digital photos. We spoke about the importance of asking of permission before taking photos of someone. We the had the opportunity to use some equipment to take photos such as, laptops and Ipads. We took lots of photos of ourselves and with our friends.
