Trip to Waddesdon Manor

Hello,






This week, we went to Waddesdon Manor for our fantastic school trip. It linked to our Kaleidoscope topic because we were looking for patterns and colours in nature.
I liked seeing the birds because we heard them speak and could see how pretty they are - Lexi
I enjoyed the activities we did especially colouring in pictures that told the stories of Sleeping Beauty - Leyton
I found out that they have to keep the rooms in the house dark so the colours don't fade away - Hollie


In English, we have been learning about recounts. We looked at some to identify the different features of a recount.
They have an introduction and a concluding paragraph - Holly
You need to use the "Five Ws", what, when, who, where, why - Simeon
We use time conjunctions like first, next and finally - Olivia
We used these skills to write a recount of our trip.


In maths, we have been adding and subtracting 1 and 10 to different numbers. Some of us used Diennes and some of us were trying to do it mentally.


In topic, we were comparing Antarctica and the desert.
There are more animals in Antarctica - Sharon
The desert is the hottest place in the world - Trudie
Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth - Oliver
In the desert, there are spiders, camels, lions and lizards - Ollie
Camels have 2 layers of eyelashes to keep the sand out - Charlotte


This week, Kara has got the Star Award for being kind and caring to others. Well done, Kara.


Well done to Alex for being our Learning Owl this week. He has shown independence and really challenged himself when he wrote his recount. Have a great weekend with Snowy, Alex!


Next week is Book Week...
