MathsThe children of Team JF started exploring column addition. We started off by recapping what we already knew about numbers and their values. From this, we partitioned into tens and ones using the place value grids and added each column separately to reach our answer. As our learning progressed, we moved into setting out our calculations accurately using one number per square. The children had lots of opportunities to practice setting this out using their whiteboards. LiteracyToday in Team JF we discussed that Mr. Holmes has seen our Tin Birds and would like to know how to make them for his class. Therefore, we agreed that we will look at writing some instructions so that Team CH can make them later in the year. In order to do this, we first need to understand what instructions are and what their purpose is. We looked at a set of instructions together and identified some important features. We then split off into groups to look at another set of instructions as a team, and discuss the features that make them successful. At the end of the lesson we came back together and collated our ideas into a list, which included: short sentences, a title, easy to understand, includes pictures, includes an equipment list, and includes steps which are in order. We agreed that these are all features which we will need to include in our own instructions when we write them next week. PEThis week we started a new unit of gymnastics, the children tried really hard to balance, we looked the starting position of a jump and a bending their knees to land safely. They did amazing well done Team JF! REThis week we looked at special stories, we looked at a special story for Judaism, called The Crying Camel and why that book was special to that religion. We then spoke about what stories are important to us and why. DTThis week in DT week evaluated our fruit kebabs, we looked at what went well, what went wrong and how we fixed this and what we could do next time. We did have a problem as we couldn't find any strawberries because of the time of year so we had to swap that fruit with another to create our kebabs. Children in need/PSHEOn Friday the children enjoyed eating buns from the bun sale and taking part in activities at play time. Each class took part in finding spots outside, whoever did it in the quickest time won! We then spoke about why we are raising money for the charity and completed a mindfulness colouring activity of Pudsey. ComputingThis week in computing we looked digital photos. We spoke about the importance of asking of permission before taking photos of someone. We the had the opportunity to use some equipment to take photos such as, laptops and Ipads. We took lots of photos of ourselves and with our friends.

MathsOver this week, Team JF have started to explore bridging 10. The children used their existing knowledge of bridging 10 using a number line to aid their understanding when using a place value grid. To begin with, we recapped our knowledge of tens and ones. From this, we made the numbers using Base 10, talking through each step. As we became confident with this, we started to talk through the importance of counting from our ones and found the total. We quickly realised we had too many ones and gave the whole tens to our neighbour. The children practised these steps, talking through each with their partner, to gain a secure understanding of what was happening to the numbers and why they were moving columns. LiteracyThis week we looked at how we made our tin birds and started writing instructions so that other teams could make them. We made sure our instructions included imperative verbs and adverbs. I'm sure the children can tell you how to make one at home. MusicToday the children started a new song in music, Sparkle in the Sun. We first listened to the song to discuss the mood, tempo, likes and the instruments we could hear. From this, we focused on the beat of the music. We explored what beat is and had great fun finding the beat in some warm up activities too! Finally, we made our own beat s for others to follow. ComputingWe looked at portrait and landscape and how to take images using these. We took images of objects around the classroom in different orientations. GeographyThis week in Geography we look at compasses, we used these to find North and other directions, we then took our knowledge and labelled our own compasses with with the eight direction on. PEThis week the children started exploring shapes. The children made a range of shapes on their mats including O , n , l, L, p, J, S. P. From this, they started to make the letters V, M, N, P, Y, D, E, Q with a partner. Here we focused on 3 second balances of each shape, pointed toes, strong core (sucking in belly button) body and hands position, points of contact when linking. MathsThis week in maths the children of Team JF continued exploring addition. We started off by counting three groups of objects and understanding how to put this into a calculation. From this, we began working on strategies we could use to help us be successful. We initially counted on from the given number, however, we found this could lead to us becoming confused. We then started to break it up into smaller chunks to make it easier. As our learning progressed, we then created our own calculations in pairs by rolling a dice three times and solving the calculation we made. LiteracyThis week in literacy we made plans to make tin birds just like in our book The Tin Forest, we planned to do this from recycled tin materials. Working in pairs, we used a tin can to form the body of the bird, and then added a range of other tin materials/card/coloured paper in order to make our ‘tin bird’. We added eyes, beaks, wings and legs to our model. Afterwards, we came to the carpet and shared our ideas with the rest of the class. ArtThis week in art we continued looking at buildings in Wombwell, this week we decided to use some objects to print onto our paper, trying to make some buildings in Wombwell we had seen. Design and TechnologyThis week in DT we started our first project, we first spoke about fruits we liked and what they tasted like, we then made a plan each for our fruit kebabs full of fruit we enjoyed. We then had the chance to make fruit kebabs in team JF, we then all enjoyed eating them together. GeographyThis week in geography, we decided that we would go out of school and have a look at our local area, Wombwell. We looked at the environment around us, we used our senses to describe what we had found and if things had changed, like the trees, the season and the weather. The children were fantastic! Well done Team JF! PSHEThis week in PSHE we looked at being healthy and what healthy means. We looked at a variety of different ways we can be healthy, at home at school, inside and outside with range of activity's you can do to keep it fun. Having a healthy diet is important. |
