Posted: Mar 26, 2017 by: Teachers (BishopTeachers) on: What's been happening in Discoverers & Voyagers.
We had a fantastic start to the week as parents came to share in our Celebration of Learning. We very much enjoyed having visitors in our classes, finding out all that we have been up to over the past term.
Literacy has seen the continuation of our letter writing this week. Children have come up with some fantastic arguments for persuasive letters of their own. Letters range from persuading Mum and Dad to have another baby, to persuading Miss Martin to plan more baking days to persuading Mr Killoran to allow no school uniform! As you can imagine, we are very excited to see the finished products.
In Maths, we have continued our exploration of geometric reasoning, focusing particularly on finding the perimeter of shapes. We have also revised what we have learned this term as a way of finding what we need to practice in the summer term.
Science has seen the continuation of classifying and grouping animals and, as ever, we have been adding to our Topic work. The Discoverers particularly enjoyed learning about the Black Death! We have found some very interesting facts.
On Friday, we had a fantastic day celebrating and raising money for Red Nose Day. We performed brilliantly in a handball festival, with Teign house winning overall. We enjoyed having a giggle at Mr Killoran's (lack of) beard and producing Mothers Day cards in preparation for this weekend.
We look forward to this coming week before a well earned rest!
