This week the children of Team JF started exploring their new unit of learning. As we had just read Esio Trot and absolutely loved the story, we decided we would use this to inspire our next piece. Our favourite character in the story was Alfie and we decided it would be a nice idea to share his views and write the story from his perspective! To get into character, we worked in pairs to identify key points throughout the story and then use drama to gain his perspective on these situations! Maths This week Team JF started time. This was a practical session with lots of discussion and practice using the clocks. To begin with, we spoke about each feature of a clock and the names such as hands, face, and hour. From this, we spoke about different times of the day such as lunch time, bed time. Alongside this, we spoke about and practiced o’clock. The children we given numerous o’clock times to make and even had the opportunity to come to the front in role of the ‘teacher’ and challenge each other ! As the week progressed, we moved into half past, quarter past and quarter to!

As part of this years British Science Week, the children of Team JF were given the amazing opportunity to secure their understanding of materials with a visit from a real scientist! During this workshop, they discussed a range of materials, their properties and everyday uses. From this, they were given a very special job to create their own material - slime! As you can imagine, this generated a great excitement and they worked incredibly hard to ensure they made it accurately! The children thoroughly enjoyed this experience and gained better understanding of how materials are made as they did it themselves! As part of poetry day, the children were very lucky to have a poet Conrad visit our classroom! Conrad initially shared a range of poems with the children for them to explore the different types. From this, they created their own rhyming poem together! The children loved this and even included actions as they performed! As part of our history unit, the children were given the exciting opportunity to take part in a workshop. A lovely lady from the History Van came into school to bring this historical period to life! To begin with, the children were able to explore what life what life was like during this time. They were given the opportunity to try on many different items of clothing, complete the washing, iron the linen and even scrub the pots! Some of the children were quite shocked when they realised just how much hard work it actually was! From this, they started to explore hospitals during this time. The children were given the task of role playing a ward during the Crimean War. They were absolutely incredible at this! They threw themselves into role as wounded soldiers and nurses and began to carry out the daily duties. During the afternoon, the children wrote letters using a quill and ink to experience what writing was like during this time period. Finally, the last session included how medicines were made and how herbal remedies were used. The children each made their own lavender bag to take away too! Team JF LOVED this day and it was a great addition to their learning to really secure their understanding of this significant period of history! Maths
