Summer 2, week 6
Week of 10-14th July
In English this week, we have continued to look at recounts. Our final outcome was for each child to write a recount telling about our class trip to the Houses of Parliament.
Our grammar focus this week is adverbs! Adverbs tell us how, when and where an action takes place. Here's a short video we watched to help explain what an adverb is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo8pzuE97EA
The children came up with an incredible list of adverbs including words like beautifully, joyfully, thankfully, quickly and lovely.
This week in Maths, we have been studying measuring time in hours, half hours, quarter hours and some children were challenged to tell time in 5 minute increments. The children now know how to read and write the hands on an analogue clock, how to write the time digitally, and solve problems by measuring lengths of time.
We also played this game to practise solving problems involving time: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks1/maths/telling_the_time/play/
In Topic, the children sewed their own puppets and they turned out fabulously!!!
