During our last week of term, we shared much of our learning with eachother. We read eachother's persuasive letters and peer-marked them using 'two stars and a wish'. Following this, children participated in a slow-write, where they produced fantastic setting descriptions based on the Easter Wonderland found in this year's ALDI advert. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFzkuDvdaX0
In Maths, we moved on to reading co-ordinates and explaining translations of shapes. The children were quick to grasp this concept using the "along the corridor and then up the stairs" method and enjoyed playing related games on the last day.
In Science, children identified and named a variety of living things in their local environment of the school site! We had great fun turning over leaves and stones and found a whole host of different minibeasts. The children then thought carefully about how these microhabitats could change and the impact this can have on those living things inhabiting them.
We look forward to more learning adventures next term and hope you have a restful Easter.
