Autumn Update

Apologies for the lack of blogs so far this term. We are going to try hard to update more frequently and involve the children in this process which will hopefully make it more interesting for you!
This week we began work preparing for our class assembly which is on the 13th November. Our aim is to show lots of the things we have been learning about this term.
Our theme in assembly this term is friendship and we had great fun on Tuesday making a web of friendship (see photo). We talked about how, as a class we are all friends even though we have our own special friends as well.

 Pictured above is our human bar graph to show our month of birth. We have been working hard on telling the time and we have now moved on to learning about the months of the year and seasons.

In guided reading this week the boys started work on poetry and they were keen to share a poem with the class afterwards which was fantastic!

In science this week we finished our work on light and shadow and we enjoyed using 'bbc science clips - light and shadow' a computer programme which allowed us an opportunity to explore shadows in the day and night and also those made by lots of materials.

Sadly the weather has prevented us from getting out to make human sundials but when an opportunity arises (probably in the Spring) we will revisit our work to enable us to see what happens for ourselves!
