 Maths

This week Team JF started a new unit of learning- shape.  To begin with we looked at a variety of 2d shapes and discussed what they look like and their names. Once we were familiar with these we were able to identify some properties. For this, we had to look really carefully at what made them that shape. Team JF were absolutely amazing at this and focused on the number of sides each shape had and the number of vertices. As our learning continued, we began sorting shapes in a variety of ways.

As always, Team JF have worked their socks off and amazed me with their knowledge! After the holidays we will  move into 3d shapes. 

Literacy

Over the past couple of weeks Team JF have continued writing their very own stories based on our class book 'Handa's surprise'. This week the children wrote their first drafts including an introduction, problem, solution and ending. They have also worked incredibly hard to include a variety of skills into their pieces such as contractions, prefixes and expanded noun phrases. I am so proud of the children's achievements over the past couple of weeks and they are becoming such talented writers!

Finally, I hope you all have an amazing Easter break!
