~ Week 1 ~
This half term in PE we are learning how to play handball. For our first lesson we played games and practiced key skills.
In PSHE we looked at the emotion "calm"... We talked about how when we are calm are able to learn. We then listened to three different types of calm music and drew what we were feeling. The pupils had lots of ideas about how to feel calm, like breathing and practicing mindfulness.
Our book in English for the first unit this term is "Mouse, Bird, Snake, Wolf." Pupils thought about what creature they wanted to create and drew this on sugar paper. They then labelled their drawing with adjectives.
Chayas had a lovely time reading with their Anansi reading buddies!
In guided reading Chayas put statements about our text in chronological order. They worked together beautifully to read the statements and put them in the correct order.
Our maths topic this week has been shape and area. As a starter we practiced drawing shapes with rulers and colouring them neatly.
Our DT topic this term is sewing. This week Chayas practiced different stitches from running stitch and overstitch to backstitch. They showed focus and care. Well done!
