Over the last few weeks, Attenborough and Greta Class have been busy rehearsing for their production of Fire Fire, which will bring all their learning about the Great Fire of London to life in a memorable event. We have been so impressed with how well the children have learnt their lines of dialogue and lyrics in only a short period of time. They are rehearsing with confidence and flair and they are very excited to perform it next week!
English:
In our English lessons, we've been writing instructions on how to wash a pet rat. We looked at pictures and videos to learn about what rats
look like and how they move and we used drama to imagine the steps that we would take to wash our rat. We created a class plan and thought about the language we would need to use.
First we put on our protective clothing. We thought we’d
need a flea-proof suit, a bite-proof mask and some thick gloves. Then we tried different ways of catching the rat. We thought
the best way was using food and a cage. We imagined our partner’s hands were the rat's paws and filed
its nails and polished them with an ear bud. We used a cloth and soapy water to wash the rat’s fur and a
brush to comb it. Finally we cleaned the rat's teeth with a toothbrush. We were careful
not to get bitten!
After we'd created a plan, we put all the writing skills we'd been learning over the last few weeks into practice and wrote our own set of instructions independently. We all worked really hard!
Maths:
In Maths, we've been learning about money, including coin values, addition with money and finding the difference. We used Cuisenaire rods to help understand the concept of finding the difference.
In Science, we've been learning about how regular exercise helps us to stay fit and healthy and the impact exercise has on our bodies, from strengthening our bones and muscles, to boosting our energy levels, to increasing our heart rate. We also learnt that our bodies need lots of sleep and rest in order to grow and repair.
