Computing This week in computing Team JF have continued their learning on Purple Mash. The children logged on independently and were able to edit their profile with ease. From this, we started exploring the ‘topics’ section on the site. The children found our topic ‘The Great Fire of London’ and started creating their own story board adding text and pictures. Music
Today 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. Next we copied some funny dancing animals on the smartboard to explore the rhythm.

This half terms focus enquiry is observation over time. In Team JF we decided to observe changes to cress plants and what the best condition for them to grow in could be. We each planted our own cress plant, using seeds, cotton wool and a plant pot. Next, each table was given a condition to grow their plant in: blue table had no light, green table were inside, pink table had no water and yellow table were outside. After one week we had a look at our cress plants and found out that yellow tables cress plants grew the best.
Literacy
This week the fabulous writers in Team JF have embraced the exciting opportunity to teach lots of other wonderful pupils in Park Street. We decided as we had become experts on the subject of 'The Great Fire of London' that we would share our knowledge with others by writing fact files to be placed in our own school library. The children started by exploring nonfiction texts and identifying their features. From this we focused our learning on grammatical features to include in our pieces such as apostrophes for possession and contractions. We have started the first draft of our pieces and will publish these next week.. Watch this space! Maths In maths this week we have continued learning all about fabulous fractions! We moved on from halving shapes and into objects. The children's resilience towards their learning this week has really stood out and they were determined to master this tricky concept! As our learning progressed, we moved into splitting shapes into four equal pieces and using the term quarters. Our learning will continue next week, however, I am sure they will blow me away again with their amazing achievements! |
