Week beginning 22nd April 2019

What a wonderful first week back the children have had. We launched our new topic - Beast Creator - by conducting a mini beast hunt on the common. The children found numerous species of creepy-crawlies, including spiders, woodlice and centipedes. When we returned to school, we created a key of where these were located and analysed our findings.

On Thursday afternoon, we were visited by some mini-monsters. Ed shared his knowledge of them, expertly answered our questions and enabled us to get close to these magnificent creatures.

In our other Topic work, we looked at the different groups of mini beasts and used their characteristics to make a flowchart to help us classify some of the creatures we found on the common.

In Maths, we have begun to explore angles. We have learnt about the different types of angles and have mastered using a protractor to measure them.

In English, we have looked at a range of stories which explain how animals got their signature body parts. We have studied the language used by the author and worked together to create story stones to help us retell these stories.
