Week ending 19th April
Sunstone have had a fabulous week back after the holidays. Their learning this week has been based around the traditional tale of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. The children have practised using story telling vocabulary, have described a character and setting using adjectives and have learnt about the suffix -ing to add to a verb. Their writing is making great progress and their sentences are really improving.
In Maths this week, the children have learnt about volume and capacity through measuring and comparing a variety of containers.
The children have begun their new Science topic of plants. They have been plant hunting outside and have all planted a bean. Fingers crossed we look after them well and they grow!
Our history topic this term is ‘How did we learn to fly?’ and the Year 1’s have learnt about the Wright brothers.
We finished this week with some music, exploring pitch with glockenspiels after making some guitars and harps using bands throughout the week.
