Maths
This week Team JF continued their learning of tens and ones. We started by recapping our prior knowledge of this and grouping larger amounts into tens and then counting the remaining ones. From this we moved into representing these using Base 10. We first discussed the value of the resources and began counting. As our learning progressed with then began using the part whole models to help us determine the number we had made. The children were then given a range of values such as 3 tens and 6 ones to make using the resource s and identify the number the y had. Music This week in Team JF we explored beat and rhythm in music. We first listened to a song and decided what we did and didn’t like about it, we also discussed what instruments we thought might have been in the song. We then got into a circle and made some out our own beats by clapping, stomping and banging. We took it in turns to listen to one another’s beat and rhythm and then copied what we heard. We focused on our timing to make sure our beat sounded the best it could be.

Literacy
Over the past couple of weeks Team JF have been working incredibly hard to consolidate their transcription skills. To begin with we focused on what good sentences should look like and worked on pour letter formation. From this, we moved into using full stops, finger spaces and capital letters. This week, we have started a new unit of learning based upon the book 'Gorilla'. We have read the book several times and incorporated drama into our literacy to freeze frame scenes from the story. As the week progressed, we moved into retelling the story and creating our very own story boards! These are absolutely fantastic and the children are very proud of what they have produced! Art This term Team JF have started our new unit of learning 'weather around the world', linked with our geography/science. To begin with we discussed and explored the four seasons, comparing real weather images with depictions of weather in art. From this, we started to think about the colours we may use to represent different weather types such as warm and cold colours. Maths Over the past couple of weeks Team JF have been exploring tens. We have discussed similarities and differences between 1 ten and ten ones, counted in groups of ten and explored what all multiples of ten have in common. This week the children continued their learning of counting in tens. The children first revised the multiples of ten before estimating and plotting them on a 0-100 number line. From this they were able to practically order themselves to create their own number line. We do have some amazing mathematicians amongst us! Pattern Seeking in Science
This week Team JF carried out our half termly enquiry based on pattern seeking. The children carried out careful observations around the school grounds. We decided to investigate and find the answer to our big question of where would we find the most insects? From this we discussed the similarities and differences between their habitats and why they might be the happiest there. After we carried out our investigation, we looked at our findings and concluded there was a pattern to the habitat and number of insects living there. More insects are found in dark, damp, sheltered spaces. |
