We are outstanding in our field (or forest)

Yet another busy week, so here's what we've been up to!

In English, we have been re-telling the story of the three little pigs as part of our work on traditional tales.  This is a good way to start thinking about the structure of entire texts, and the children have been working hard to write their own sentences.

In maths, we have been exploring ways of representing numbers and have used bar models to express this.  You can learn more about bar models and how they can be used, here:

In Science we finished our work on the different types of rocks and are now pretty confident talking about igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.

In our topic work, we have identified where Stonehenge is on a map of the UK.

We had a great afternoon with our artist, Mark, on Monday, and our work towards the school's new art piece is coming along nicely.  On Friday, we welcomed Mr Butler once more, for our ukulele lesson.  The children explored the A string and played along to different rhythms - we're beginning to sound really good!

Finally, in Forest School we had a go at making scarecrows based on the three little pigs - truly outstanding inn their field.  Boom boom!
