Howzat!

What a busy Half Term!
We have been so busy this half term as we set about reliving Neil Armstrong’s famous moon landing.
We have written newspaper reports describing this incredible historical event as well as begin to design our very own space buggy.
Using Scratch we have designed a space scene which we can use simple code to make move
A Nurses Visit
As part of our History learning about Mary Seacole, we invited Mrs Caizley in to speak to us about being a nurse and what it is like now both in a hospital and a GP surgery. We had planned questions to ask her and she did very well to cope with so many!

How to catch the gingerbread man!
In our English lessons this week we have written instructions to help the old lady capture the gingerbread man. We have really focused on using imperative verbs, conjunctions and commas in a list.
In Maths we have been learning to make different amounts using coins in lots of different ways.
In Science we have investigated different animals and their young. We discovered that not all babies look like their parents!
Please make sure you are still reading at home at least three times a week and be sure to sign in your child’s reading record book.
Thank you,

Bossy verbs!
In our English lessons this week we have learnt how to write commas in a list when writing a list of equipment the old lady could use to help capture the gingerbread man.
In Maths we have been learning to solve word problems using our addition and subtraction knowledge. We have been identifying the important parts of the problem and then have been representing our answers using dienes.
In Science we have been looking at the life cycle of a frog and butterfly in detail. We learnt the word metamorphosis… ask your child what this means!
