Science
This week Team JF took part in a seasonal walk in Wombwell. The children were incredibly observant whilst being very sensible and safe. As we set off from the school grounds, we started to look at the changes to our environment during this season. We stopped at regular intervals to discuss what we could see and why these changes were occurring. As we arrived at our destination (a large open field space) we split off into small groups to explore the surroundings and hopefully tick off some of the autumnal changes. I was so proud of the way the children conducted themselves and how engaged they were in their learning. When we arrived back at school, we looked closer and some of the findings we brought back and discussed these. We then proceeded to complete our investigation pro forma as a class to present our findings. Maths This week Team JF used their knowledge of the number system to begin comparing numbers. We started by using stem sentences to identify numbers greater than, less than and equal to. From this, we introduced the < > = symbols to replace the words. We had lots of opportunities to practice our skills using whiteboards and reading the statements we created together. We then had the challenge of choosing 2 numbers (represented in a range of ways) to create a number sentence with. I hope you have an amazing week off with your loved ones!

Literacy
This week Team JF started a new unit of learning, poetry. To begin with, we discussed the word poetry and what it meant to us. From this, we rotated around the room to different adults to listen to a range of poems. As we gained a better understanding of the different styles, we started to think about what we liked a nd disliked a bout them. As the week progressed, we started to understand shape poetry and explore the features of these. We also started skill building to write our own shape poems. We had a session focused on alliteration and produced some amazing examples based on a range of images. RE This week we started learning about Diwali, otherwise known as the festival of light. The children explored what Diwali is and how it is celebrated. The children enjoyed discussing this and how this is similar to some of our own celebrations. The children created some of their own amazing Rangoli patterns and enjoyed listening to some traditional music too! |
