Friday 26th September
This week in Sennen we have been busy in maths continuing work on place value. We have played games where we had to think about the position of a digit in order to make the largest number. We have also looked at multiples of 10 and found their positions on different number lines. In Literacy we have been revising noun phrases and thinking of noun phrases to describe our new creature. We have also discussed different settings and used our senses to help us to describe them. For our topic lesson this week we used compass points to find the location for different areas of the farm. In art we had lots of fun creating a Picasso inspired abstract portrait picture. Our outdoor learning this week was spent in the wonderful sunshine where we played a memory game and started to create willow hoops. We will be turning these into dream catchers or webs next week. Thank you for all of the Horse Chestnuts that the children brought in. This week they need to hunt for lovely things for their hoop.
Friday 12th September
Sennen have had a very busy week in class and they have worked really hard to learn the routines of their new classroom. In Literacy this week we have been reading a book called the Bog Baby by Jeanne Wills. We have discussed what a bog is, made predictions about the story and written our own sentences to retell the events in the book. In maths we have been looking at numbers up to 100. We have been writing numbers and drawing representations for a range of numbers using the base 10, Numicon and part-whole models to help us. We have started work on our topic about Farms and compared arable, livestock and dairy farms. In our PHSE lesson, we have discussed our worries for the year ahead and helped each other with ideas to ease these. The children were really good at listening to each other and providing some thoughtful tips. We had our first outdoor morning on Thursday, in between the showers. We were really impressed with their hiding and detective skills. We even managed some time to enjoy the sunshine whilst listening to the nature all around us. Thank you to all of the parents that were able to attend Meet the Teacher on Monday. I have sent home the class newsletter in case you couldn't make the meeting.
