Monday

Welcome to our second week of remote learning for those of you who are working from home. The class are working very hard and are enjoying being back...we can’t wait until we are a full class again! 

This week we completing some areas work on Roald Dahl. It was Roald Dahl’s birthday on Sunday 13th September and so we started to do some work based on his stories at the end of last week. Have you read any of his books? Have you watched any of his films? For your Literacy/ reading you could do a book/film review about your favourite one? Mine is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- I would’ve loved to have been able to go inside the factory....hopefully I would’ve made it to the end!

In the construction area we are also trying to make Lego items based on any of his stories...what can you come up with- I would love to see your pictures! We had lollipops, factories and even a rocket. 

Today we are counting in maths. Can you count in 2s? Can you follow on from different start numbers- 6, 3, 9, 2. 

In science today Mrs Egan is going to be continuing the work on animals. Your task is to cut out the animal pictures and sort however you wish... pets/not pets, where they are found, appearance...write the category names above each set. Discuss how humans are different to these animals. The last task is to compare animals by identifying different features. You will compare a real pig and Peppa Pig. 

I hope you have a good day,

Mrs Dixon
