Today has been very exciting, as we received a reply from Rishi Sunak, in response to our letters about our approach to wellbeing. There were lots of happy and inspired children in Chestnut Class today! I am so proud of my change makers.
This week in PE, we finalised the choreography for our dance to The Other Side! The children have successfully sequenced a range of challenging dance moves and today, worked on their balance and flexibility.
After a wonderful 6 weeks of learning about our local area, we were very excited to showcase our hard work! Here are a few pictures of our published learning mission work:
This afternoon, the children we so pleased to be able to finally perform their manifestos for Class Prime Minister. This allowed them to practise their speaking and listening skills. We can’t wait to listen to the rest next week!
After completing our Arithmetic Paper last week, the children identified the questions that they found challenging, so we could spend the following lesson addressing and discussing any misconceptions. Dividing 1 and 2 digit numbers by 10 and 100 was this week’s main focus and after recapping different strategies, the children enjoyed applying them in a game of snakes and ladders.
This week, we used a picture stimulus to generate discussion around compassion. The children were able to recognise the importance of understanding someone else’s feelings and how to respond in different situations in order to be compassionate.
This week, we have created narrative poems titled ‘London from the Sky’ as the main character in our core text travels around the capital by jet pack! We have had a wonderful week discussing high quality vocabulary and learning about figurative language. The published results are just incredible. Here are a few:
This week in learning mission, we have been learning about the reasons behind Britain’s success during The Battle of Britain. We explored the work of Robert Watson-Watt and created interviews that described his life and explained how radar played such a vital role in helping the Royal Air Force defeat the Germans during this time.
The children also recreated some wonderful Propaganda posters, after being inspired by our recent Whole Class Reading on this topic!
Today, we said farewell to one member of our class as they begin the next chapter of their journey in Australia. We had lots of fun making dens in Forest Schools and playing parachute games together. Thank you for bringing so much joy, energy and kindness into our class Archie, we will really miss you!
Today, we explored the concept of symmetry by folding various 2D shapes. It was brilliant watching the children explore and listening to them discuss their findings with their peers.
