English

In our English lessons this week we have been learning all about diary writing. We talked about what we thought a diary was and how it might be used. Then we learned about how to write a diary - use the past tense because it has already happened, use "I, me, we, our", use the day or date and write the events in order. We had a practise at writing a diary entry about what we did on Pancake day. On World Book Day we planned and wrote a diary entry for the character we came to school as. It was great fun thinking about what our character might have done the day before!

Nouns

We have been learning about nouns. These are words used to name people, places or things. We know that proper nouns always have a capital letter. We went on a noun hunt to find different nouns around us. 

Which of the words below are nouns?

dog

Mrs Morgan

wobbly

tree

beautiful

Look around you at home or on your way to school and see what nouns you can see.

Maths

Our maths learning this week linked to our English work as we have been learning about Time. First we thought about the different times of day - morning, afternoon and evening/night. We organised activities we did into the different times of day. Next we learned the names for the days of the week and sang songs to help us put them in the correct order. Here is the link to the song we have listened to:

We then learnt about the months of the year and found out a little about each month. Again we listened to a song!

Topic

This week we will be sketching. The children will be learning how to create different marks with pencils and about tone, how light or dark things are. They will then look at the shapes of a face and sketch one of our famous monarchs- King Henry VIII or Queen Elizabeth II.
