Week 3

I've had a lovely third week, and continue to feel proud and thrilled to be teaching 1MLN. 

I'm loving the enthusiasm for learning. Starting on Monday when so many children came back with a new poem in their Poetry Anthology and were so delighted when they shared this with the class.

This was our first week in the library and using the alphabetical coding to find particular authors was exciting. Readers are loving the challenge of reading for more than 10 concentrated minutes at home. Thank you for challenging your child to think about what they have read and signing your child's reading log each night.

Although SKILL BUSTERS are entirely optional a number of children have set targets at home with their families. I can't wait to start seeing some photos of SKILL BUSTERS in action.

Have a super weekend.

By getting to know all the maths equipment in the room we can then use it in which ever way we see fit to solve problems. Independent thinking is important in mathematics.

Can you figure out what the theme is in these photos ? 

Rocky has hatched !  We voted on his name. Communities sometimes vote to make a decision. 

During Art this week we reminded ourselves of Hot and Cold Colours.

We're beginning to understand that different communities have different features.  Art and storytelling both feature strongly in many communities. 

We looked at the one community which does a particular type of painting. We painted a stone in this style inspired by our storytelling. The painting is a scene from our stories.

Ask your child to retell their story ?
