We have been busy this week developing and using our thinking skills in all sorts of ways:
In maths the children have been finding the fractions of shapes and using their knowledge of half to divide amounts in two. Learning to divide is quite tricky but the children worked hard, showing our value of perseverance.
In English the children have been innovating the story of The Enormous Crocodile. We have had all types of animals being described, using lots of adventurous adjectives. The children have learned the story off by heart and are getting ready to perform the whole story with the help of actions, expression and our wonderful story cloaks!
Our topic this term is 'Finding Our Way' and we have made a start on this by looking at maps and aerial views. Some of the children have completed a home learning task by choosing to create a map of where they live and I have hung their examples on the wall for all to see.

In PE this term we are learning country dancing. Soon we will be getting the maypole out and we can't wait! The music we listen to is played on an accordion and we were lucky enough to have Mr Thompson pop in to show us how this is played. He also brought along a mandolin which the children had great fun playing.
