On Tuesday, we were incredibly lucky to be joined by Andy Seed, who is an incredible children’s non-fiction writer. He inspired us with his knowledge of animal facts and it was interesting to understand how he presented his animal factual books in a question and answer interview format. We can’t wait to read some of his books and use this style of writing in our own writing. We even brought our magpie books into the hall to steal great ideas and facts!

In Maths, we have been working extremely hard on our multiplication and division topic. It has been fantastic to see the way the children’s times table knowledge has paid dividends as we were all confident at using these facts to support our learning. 

During Art this week, we made Roman mosaics. We learnt how to clip tiles using tile cutters. We used these pieces to create wave patterns and arranged the tile pieces to fit a pre-existing pattern. We worked incredibly well in our groups and produced some fantastic pieces of art.   

In Music, we continued our samba topic. We consolidated our knowledge around the different types of instruments. We then played several different call and response rhythms. Mr Ash started by playing the call part for us to respond. Then different children in class took on the call section. We hope you like it!

Our TTrockstar of the week is Annie and our Lexia legend is Amelia. Book club was hosted by Myra. She chose the book ‘When the Fishes Flew’ by Michael Morpurgo. We also once again achieved a magnificent 99.3% attendance, let’s see if we can get 100% next week.
