My apologies for having taken so long to get it up and running - but, better late than never.
Unfortunately, it comes down to transferring accounts etc when changing classrooms, which can be a bit messy.
Term 1 was incredibly busy - as usual!
We worked on introducing our new writing concept to the children - storytelling.
You could ask them about how they produced their writing on the 'Freedom Bird' and 'The 3 Billy Goats Gruff'.
We now follow a method of Hear, Map, Step and Speak to develop the children's oral language first.
They then continue on with writing as a class, then substituting certain characters, settings, plots etc to make it their own.
During Term 2, our first story will be about Daedulus and Icarus.
The following video shows a version of the story:
We will be looking at multiplication for maths during this term, followed by algebra and geometry.
With regards to art, we will be focusing on creating a piece of work for the Cultural Festival - more details to follow when received! As we only have a limited amount of chromebooks/i-pads per class, a focus for using these will be on keyboard skills. I have joined the class in a typing club in order for them to be familiar with a computer/device keyboard - hopefully you will hear about this from your children in a couple of weeks time.
Hope everyone is enjoying these two weeks off.
Will see everyone on Monday 1st May - have a great holiday.
