We have had a great week researching facts about India, so that we can write information booklets.  We have also enjoyed using Google Earth to virtually visit places in India.  We have also located major Indian cities on a map.  in maths we have been making and adding equal groups.  We have been learning how to double numbers.  During the afternoons we listened to Blues music by B.B King, finding the beat and talking about how the music made us feel.  Today we have been thinking about things in the world that make us say wow!   I will be sending parents evening times out over the weekend and have put new activities on Mathletics for the children to try.

Please remember to send your child with a water bottle everyday.  Thank you

Well done everyone in Chestnut Class for working so hard this week and for writing amazing fact files about Antarctic animals.  We have enjoyed learning some fascinating facts about Antarctica, especially about the animals!  We have been learning about capacity in maths and enjoyed trying in out in our mud kitchen area.

Have a lovely Easter break, please remember to read the Bug club books and complete Mathletics.

This week has been a busy one, we have been completing assessments and learning about Antartica.  We have learned about Captain Scott’s journey to the South Pole and what it was like for him and his team.

Please remember to use Bug Club and Mathletics, we give out certificates each Friday.

What a fabulous week we have had using information books to find out about  Antartica We have identified features of an information book and the similarities between pages.  We are going to write our own information texts about Antartica.  In maths we have been comparing weights of objects and weighing using cubes.  We used our big wall map to identify the seven continents and then labelled them  We also found countries which have special meaning to us.  We have been using Doodle Buddy to learn how to paint using a computer.  We have learnt what the different tools do.

Golden Certificate winner was Ella- Well done!
