This week has been our first full week together since returning back to school following our Easter break, and we have most certainly been very busy in every area of our learning!

In maths we have been focussing on being responsible learners and being able to use alternative methods to check our answers and then use the inverse to double check!  We have also been applying these strategies to then be 'have a go learning heroes' and attempt to solve multi-step problems - phew!  

In English we have began to look at features of play scripts in preparation for writing our own, and Joshua brought his glove puppet in for us to look at so we could begin to think about the type of puppet we might create for our performances.

Topic required us to think about how a story is created in a piece of art work; and in art we practised texture by using only pencils and straight lines!  After we had practised our texture work we then found some natural objects from outside and used these to begin drawing a still life study using only the skills we had been working on.

During our science learning we went with Squirrel class for a nature walk.  As our learning is focussing on colour, we painted a colour wheel in class before heading out down the lane to find different colours in nature.  It was great fun, and everyone enjoyed being able to return to class and categorise their findings.

We are already looking forward to next weeks learning ... but don't forget to have Monday off!
