Maths
This week in Team JF we have continued our work on learning to tell the time. Last week we started with o'clock, half past and quarter to/past which as a class we completed with ease. We used our own small clocks and practiced lots of different times. As well as this we learnt how to write time by looking at the teacher clock at the front and jotting down the time on our whiteboards. This week we moved on to telling the time to 5 minutes. We learnt that although the minute hand might be pointing at a number on the clock, it can also mean minutes past or to something even if it doesn't say it. 

Science
We have been learning about living and non-living things this week in science. First we discussed what we thought made something living and Team JF concluded that something must be able to move to be living. Next, we watched a science video explaining to us that for something to be living it must be able to grow and have energy. This made us think, that a tree or a flower doesn't but it definitely does grow. On our desks we had lots of images of things like toys, animals, plants and cars, we sorted them into living and non-living piles and discussed why we put them there.
