Today we were scientists and explored animal classification. We talked about how we can group animals by the food that they eat. We learnt that carnivores eat other animals and herbivores eat plants. Finally we learnt that omnivore eat both. We used our knowledge to complete another Venn diagram to show what we had learnt.
Wow! I am so proud of the crew today, getting smart to produce beautiful work. We ensured we reflected on our presentation, sitting our letters on the line, using finger spaces and the correct punctuation. It was a lot to think about! We wrote with pride and I couldn’t have been more prouder at our first attempt to produce display writing. Well done Crew Godley!
Today, in Maths, we had a carousel of different activities to help consolidate new and old learning. We measured some different worms and shapes using cubes, discussed equal groups and completed some 2D shape work.
In our experience lesson today we had to quickly run around the assault course around the playground and get a plaster out of the bag for our new friend Carla, who head a big red bump on her head.
We were fab at getting the plaster fast to help our friend! We also produced some lovely writing in our books.
We’ve had a big focus on our 6 timetables this week. Chanting them forwards and backwards and ensuring we’re saying the whole number sentence.
Arithmetic today consisted of revisiting multiplying by 10 as this is something we’ve picked up in the arithmetic test as needing bit more practice. It was great seeing some children using the place value grid to support them.
During our expedition lesson, we had to piece together an image which was the map of the world. However, this map had new information that we hadn’t seen before. We learned that the Earth is divided into 7 divisions which are:
North Pole (Arctic Circle)
Northern Hemisphere
Tropic of Cancer
Equator
Tropics of Capricorn
Southern Hemisphere
South Pole (Antarctic Circle)
We then split into groups to do some research on one of the divisions before feeding back to the rest of the crew.
In maths, we have been learning about related multiplication and division facts. If we know 1 set of information then we can work out others such as 4×5=20, 4×50=200, 4×500=2000
We had lots of fun trying out the new skipping rope Miss Marsh ordered for us. Lots of children queued up to have a go and show off their skipping skills. We can’t wait to get it back out tomorrow! Thank you Miss Marsh!😃💕
