Weekly News w/c 20.1.20

This week we have started our new Power of Reading book in English. The children do not know what the book is called yet, but they do know the main character is called Claude and that he has a best friend called Sir BobblySock.

On Monday we read the first 10 pages and made inferences about Claude based on what we had read. The children decided he was friendly because he had a best friend, he was happy because he had a smiley face, he was cheeky because he watched his owners with one eye open, and he was French because he wears a beret on his head. Later in the week, we wrote predictions about what adventure we thought Claude and his friend would have in the story. Some children used the conjunctions 'and' and 'because' to extend their sentences.

In Maths this week we have been learning all about 2D shapes. We know the names of the following shapes: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon. pentagon, and octagon. Later in the week we were sorting them according to their sides and corners.

In Geography we have been learning what physical and human features are. We decided that human features were built by people and physical features where already part of the Earth and are natural. We looked specifically and the features of London and learnt why London does not have beaches or mountains.
