Impact: Children can identify the changes in plants when the seasons change. They understand that as we approach summer, the daylight hours increase and the temperature also increases, making good conditions for plants to grow and flower.
The children can talk about what they notice in the school gardens from Autumn to Winter, Winter to Spring and now Spring to Summer. They used their knowledge of the parts of plants to explain the changes that they notice with leaves and flowers.
Geography Around the World:
Learning about North America
Our map work included searching for the capital cities of countries in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. We discovered that North America is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on the West and the Atlantic Ocean on the East. There are many human and physical features which we were able to identify in the illustrated atlases.
Guided Reading this week included phonics activities, building sentences, making tricky words and inspired by 'The Wish Fisher' one group drew what they would wish for.
We have a huge basket of poetry books that our excited readers have been enjoying. There has been lots of practice on reading wit good expression and volume.
This week concluded our work on performance poetry.
A couple of our groups had the chance to recite their poems on Friday afternoon and we will continue this coming week. Thank you to all those who have worked hard to memorise the poems by heart!
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Page and Mrs Woolley
