Class update

Autumn 2024

2.9.24-20.9.24 

What a lovely, sunny start to a new and exciting term. (We will forget about the weather in the 1st week). We hope you have had a lovely break from school routines and your family has had a chance to recharge their batteries. The children have settled in brilliantly and are adapting to new routines and expectations very well 😊. Our topic this term is- Rivers and Mountains. Initially, we will be focusing on our local rivers- River Usk, Wye, Monnow and Severn. We have been finding out about the Water cycle and how water constantly moves. Some of the concepts are quite tricky, so we created a storm in a jar to illustrate how clouds collect water before releasing the droplets as rain. During our first Forest School this term, we worked together in small teams in a race to construct a bridge and travel along without falling into a swamp. There was lots of collaboration and teamwork to achieve the result. Last week in Literacy, we focused on grammar and punctuation before commencing our class text- Flotsam. This week we have looked carefully at this beautifully illustrated book to show how the pictures show meaning. (Carefully looking for the clues). The children then created character descriptions using interesting sentence openers. We have started to create some Doodle Art. This is a form of meditative drawing that involves creating repetitive, structured patterns in a deliberate, focused way. Not only is it fun and relaxing, but it also has many therapeutic benefits. It helps to reduce stress, improves focus and concentration, and promotes feelings of calm and well-being. Just a reminder that home learning is uploaded to Google Classroom every Friday, including spellings. Thank you for your support.
