The Gruffalo... what's a Gruffalo? Week Ending: 13.01.17

Hello,

This week we have welcomed Charlotte into Chestnut Class.

In Dance this half term we are going to be learning a sequence of movements to 'Singing in the Rain'. If you have an umbrella at home that you would like to bring in you can, as we will be using this as a prop within our dance.

This week we became authors as we retold the story of 'The Gruffalo'. Before we did this we thought of some adjectives to describe the characters and we also sequenced pictures from the story.

We have been showing off our maths skills this week by using lots of different strategies to help us to answer maths questions. 

We became scientists as we explored kaleidoscopes in science. " First we looked through a kaleidoscope, then we had one mirror and we made a pattern. Then Mrs McLellan gave us two mirrors and then we wrote about it in our books" Theo.
"We got a piece of paper and put some sequins on it and then we got one mirror and looked in the mirror. Then we got another mirror which made it look like there were lots of mirrors." Teddy

This afternoon in PSHE we were thinking about special people and why they are special to us.

Congratulations to Grace who will be taking home Snowy our Learning Owl for always be ready for her learning and her fantastic listening skills!

Well done to Teddy who is our Star of the Week for taking care of his classroom.

Home Learning this weekend is to research the artist William Morris ready for our Topic learning next week.
