We worked hard in maths to make shapes using play dough. Some of us went around the lines of a simple shape with play dough and some of us used shapes to complete a picture e.g. making wheels on a bus or stars in the sky.
Exploring magnets and metals
We have really enjoyed looking at metals this week in our topic lessons. It was really fun exploring the magnets and different objects made of metal.
Autumn 1
Welcome to Blue Class’ page. The adults in Blue Class are Sapna (teacher), Alison (teacher), Dil (TA2), Vicki and Sandra. The children in our class are; Abu, Jaelan, Justin, Rohaan, Saniyah, Sean, Yasmine and Yusuf. We have already had a fantastic start to the new year!
Our topic this term is ‘What a load of Junk’’! The focus of this topic is the environment, materials and recycling. Each week in our topic sessions, we will be learning about and exploring a different material such as metal, plastic, paper and fabric. We will be using recycled materials to make junk models and different craft items each week using a different material.
In Literacy our learning will be based on the book ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’. The children have already enjoyed listening to this story (especially the part where the giants pants fall down!). We’ve been singing the giants song and learning the names for the different items of clothes. Most of the children will be learning the names of the different characters and building simple sentences about them. Some of the children will be learning to write about their favourite parts of the story and retell the story in their own words.
The Smartest Giant in Town
We will be working on our reading skills too - practising reading words, symbols and sentences to our friends and hopefully perform some reading to the whole class. We love to video their performances and watch them back.
In Maths we will be continuing our work with numbers and counting and sorting. We will be exploring patterns with shapes, pictures and objects such as threading beads in a 2 step pattern (red, yellow, red, yellow). You could have a go at making some patterns with materials you have at home. Some of us will be learning to match items that are the same and items that are similar e.g. matching socks into pairs or putting all the plates/cups together. A few of us will be extending our adding to bigger numbers and practise our subtraction skills. We will also be revisiting geometry and measurement in lots of practical ways. Keep an eye on our page for new photos!
In Expressive Arts we will be using art, music, drama and role play to create our own performances. We will be getting our dancing shoes on to listen and dance to disco and musical theatre this half term.
In Cookery we are cooking and tasting a variety of different soups. We will be practising our chopping, peeling, slicing and grating skills. This half term we will be helping the adults to stir the soup on the stove (while learning about safety when working with hot liquids) and blending them up.
During ICT we will be using a range of different programs to practise our mark making skills. We will be looking at famous artwork from different artists and trying to recreate them using the computer packages.
