Last week - Spring Term Wk 2!

Except for our special lunch at the Lamb this has been quite a normal week! In literacy we started learning about the author Anthony Browne. We have read lots of his books and have been comparing them. He is also a brilliant illustrator and his drawings are very detailed and some are quite strange or to quote Olivia, "Peculiar". He likes using gorillas in his stories and most of them have a serious message.
In science we have been learning more about teeth and their purpose. We have also been considering what we need to do to look after them. We designed a poster with an important message about looking after teeth and some of our posters are going to be sent to our local dentist and displayed around school.
In French this week we started learning about the names of animals. It was quite tricky to remember them. Pig (cochon) seemed to be the most popular!
In maths we have had fun finding out about 3-d shape. We have had opportunities to make our own shapes and are getting very good at describing their properties!
We had another class council meeting this week and the year two are very keen to raise some money by doing 'something'. We would like an electric pencil sharpener and a class stereo so we are going to make this a project for the term!
Louis D had a good idea for reading, we are going to start a 'good read' box where children can put books they think others would enjoy. This may be their own books if they are allowed to lend them or school books they have read and enjoyed.
