Discovery Time

Today MR, VH and AS class had their first Discovery time together. Our theme was - Under the sea.

We were focusing on trying our hardest and doing our absolute best! There were so many fun activities. We had a ball! Check out some of the photos:

RAP-unzel

Rapunzel is the hot favourite to win ‘A Land Far Far Away’s Got Talent With X Factor Idol’. She’s a teenage triple threat, with the voice of Lady Gaga, the dance moves of Beyonce, and the hair of… Rapunzel!
But when she refuses to sign a contract with the 'udderly' ruthless 'moosic' producer Simon Cow, he locks her in a recording tower high above the enchanted forest to steal her singing voice with a magic tape machine. What can Rapunzel do now she can’t sing? Rap

We had such a great time and thought the show was very funny! We all had a great laugh.

Blends:

This week we have been focusing on the blends tw & sw ! We should be able to say these sounds, recognise them in our reading and write them in our writing.

Maths:

This week in maths we have been practising our skip counting in fives. We are all getting super good at doing this! We must be practising lots at home too.. We have also had a look at doubling and halving. Doubling numbers means that it’s twice as many. We liked doing this. Some of us used counters to help us. After that we had a go at halving. This was a lot harder than doubling! We will be practising all of these things throughout the year.

Art:

This week we did some “Lorax” art from Dr Seuss. We made ‘truffle’ trees. First we painted the background with water colours. After that we cut long pieces of paper for our tree trunks. Then we cut out the top of the tree and stuck it all together. They look pretty fantastic!
