In guided reading we have finished reading The Iron Man. We really enjoyed all of the fantastic descriptions of the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon and of the Iron Man's challenge. We compared the text with The Paper Bag Princess (one of my all time favourites) to discuss the similarities and differences between the challenges set in the book.
In PE this week, we have been practising our aim and trying to throw with accuracy. We started with hoops and then challenged our selves with the smaller targets of cones.

Thank you to the children that have been bringing in fossils and other types of rocks to support our learning. We have loved hearing you talk about them!

In reading this week, we have been thinking about how to be successful practice partners. We developed rules for us to follow and started working on shared reading.
In English, we have started learning about Mary Anning, using the brilliant book Stone Girl, Bone Girl. We used drama to create freeze frames to infer how she might have felt when she first discovered fossils.
In maths, we have been learning to add fractions. We split whole objects apart and then added the numerators to give us different amounts.
