Week beginning 24th April

This week we will continue to write our character descriptions of the ogre from Jack and the Beanstalk. The children had some great ideas about what he might say, what he looks like, what he might do. The children designed their own ogres as a starting point and some of them had tails or 4 legs!
In maths we are focussing on measure and began last week by measuring giant foot prints and putting them in order of size. This week we will measure our own pictures of the giant.
We started our topic on the outdoors, exploring the school grounds and spending some time in our new forest school on the field. We were able to identify many common plants and mini beasts.
This week we are beginning our mammoth gardening project! We have lots of ideas and this will help us develop an understanding of what plants need to grow and stay healthy. The children are very excited about this term project!
In PE we learnt good running techniques. We practised running the same distance to see if we could improve our time and then compared each others running techniques. Well done to James in Adventurers class. Fabulous running technique!
