English
We continued with our writing themes this week of Africa and animals in the Savannah. One of our missions was to look at a range of different pictures of animals and sequence them to imagine we were on a safari of our own and what we’d hope to see. I was really impressed with the recount entry that the children wrote.
Maths
We started our new topic of fractions this week! We introduced ourselves to fractions by looking at equal parts and unequal parts. The children were fantastic at recognising this and even problem solving what the mistakes were with equal and unequal shapes. We later moved on to recognising halves and finding halves. Some promising starts!
Geography
This week we looked at the different people and cultures of Africa. We found out many similarities between our lives and theirs as well as some differences, particularly those who live traditional lives and live in the Shanty Towns such as the Maasai Tribes. We also had a go at making some of our own African Necklaces. The children completed a hunt around the room to help them find out clues to their answers as well as the teaching input.
