This week the children started work on story writing with a focus on direct speech using speech marks. They were shown a picture of a mountain in our ‘cold write’ and asked to write a story using their imagination. The stories they wrote were enchanting and I look forward to seeing the work they produce as we continue with our narrative lessons.
Column addition has been our focus in maths this week. The children have put their knowledge of place value and addition to good use and have done well to solve mathematical problems.
During our topic lessons we have been exploring the power of propaganda posters during WW2. The children created their own posters which are displayed with pride in our classroom gallery.
We’re looking forward to our celebration day next Thursday. It will be fascinating to see the children taking a step back in time as they dress up in 1940’s fashion. I am hard at work trying to put my own 1940’s look together, the children have suggested that I don’t use gravy browning as tights, as they did back in the day, and I think I’ll take their advice.
We were blessed to have Mrs Lloyd join us on Tuesday and Thursday. It was lovely to have her with us in class and I know that she was very impressed with all of the children and their hard work. She said their books were beautiful which made us all feel very proud.
I hope that you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
Kind regards
Miss H Hughes and Mrs Evans
