Week beginning Monday 19th March 2018
Writing
We will be moving on to our new topic in literacy next week. Our focus will be on a losing tale where a character loses a precious item. We will be using Julia Donalsdon’s story Monkey Puzzle as a stimulus for our writing.
Here is an example of a losing tale toolkit. We will be keeping the middle part of the story the same and the children will be using the toolkit to innovate their own prequel and ending.
Reading
We are still really enjoying Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White.
Maths
Hungerford Bridge have really enjoyed learning about shape this week. Here are some photos of the 2d shapes we made on a geobaord using elastic bands! We realised that we could not make a circle because circles do not have any vertices or straight sides. The trickiest shape to make was the triangle!
We will be spending one more week on shape. Our learning objectives next week are:
- Making patterns with 2d shapes.
- Counting the faces, edges and vertices on 3d shapes.
- Sorting 3d shapes.
- Making patterns with 3d shapes.
