Term 1, Week 10
Despite starting this half
term with a short week, it’s been all go in 3 Sahara the last week and a half!
Last week in Numeracy we
completed our work on 2D Shape and developed our use of Carroll diagrams to
help sort information. We have now moved onto Measurement, specifically looking
at Length. This week we mastered using a 30cm ruler and worked on estimating
the length of different items and checking carefully the correct measurements
with our rulers. We had a lot of fun investigating the lengths of our own hands
and feet!
Linking our Literacy and
Topic work we have continued studying non chronological reports using our Topic
learning of the dinosaurs. The children have continued to develop their note-taking ability and this week have been learning how to turn their
notes into clear paragraphs of a common theme. Recapping all of the features of
a report, the children have put this into action to create their own dinosaur report. We
are now at the finishing touches stage of these and look forward to sharing them with you
soon.
In other news, BISB has been hit with a dance craze
this week, as the whole school learns a short sequence as part of ‘Dance
Unites’, a Nord Anglia interschool competition. The actual performance of the
dance will be taking place on Tuesday the 20th of November and for
this we please ask for all of the children in KS2 to wear a white top and dark
coloured trousers. We will be performing outside so the warmer the better in
regards to the top. In class we have been having a great time learning the
moves, if your child would like to work on these at home please go to the link
attached and click on ‘Dance Unites’ on the left hand menu. www.mrwatkins.tk
Have a lovely weekend.
