Good afternoon,  Hedgehogs have had a fantastic return to school. In Maths we are working on 2D and 3D shape, looking at naming shapes and identifying the number of sides and vertices (corners) and also being able to draw 2D shapes.  We are still continuing to work on skills previously learnt, including counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s.  We are also working on time, revising o'clock and half past before moving on to quarter past and quarter to. In English this week we have been looking at poetry, focusing on birds.  We have been creating sentences using powerful verbs to describe how a bird might fly. We have started our new topic of Carnival of the Animals.  So far, we have identified where Africa is on a world map and we have then found Kenya.  Using an atlas, we have identified the capital city, the Indian Ocean and the Mountain range and labelled these using a key.  In our Science lessons we have matched animals to their babies and we have described how a baby animal changes as it grows. In Art, we are extending our knowledge of colour mixing.  This week we looked at the artist Jackson Pollock and created our own drip paintings.  We hope you like the photos of our results. Last week, you should have received your child's new spelling pack for the half term and the new optional homework menu for the term.  I have posted these on Google Classroom along with some extra Maths and English resources should you wish to use these at home.  If you haven't been able to access your child's Google Classroom account please let me know and I'll do my best to sort this for you. Have a wonderful weekend

This term we have started a new topic 'The Romans'.  We have been reading Roman myths looking at the Gods and Goddesses that lived on Mount Olympus. We have compared different versions of the myth Romulus and Remus and identified how different aspects change over time.

In French we are looking at the pronunciation of names of  fruits, playing games which involved us finding the missing fruit and saying it in French.
