Non-Chronological Reports

This week in English and Expedition we have been thinking about writing Non-Chronological reports.

We started by reading and critiquing some models.

Next we used books, videos and the internet to create a research map all about our chosen animals.

We then used everything we had learned about non-chronological reports and our animals to write our very own report – what do you think?

Learning about animals

Class 4 have had a very busy week learning about animals, sorting them into different groups and discussing their basic needs. The children have enjoyed singing ‘the sorting animals’ song and joining in with the actions. We have designed some feeding bowls for our pets, critiqued our work and planned our next steps. This week most children in our class have received their special award for reading lots of books at home and at school.

Class 6 Story Tellers

I am so proud of the English work I have received this week! The children have been writing their own alternative stories for ‘How To Heal a Broken Wing’, which has been the key text we have been looking at over the past few weeks. They have created some beautiful work and have used their incredible imaginations. I think we have got some budding authors and illustrators in our class 😀 Huge well done!

Class 4 have had an amazing week learning and developing their skills in writing, reading, Art and reasoning in Maths. Well done everybody for working extremely hard at school and home.

Survival

In order to answer our guiding question – Why is it important to care about animals? – this week we have been thinking about what animals and humans need to survive.

London Landmarks

Reception have been learning about some of the landmarks in our capital city. We have had some fabulous drawings and models – can you guess which landmarks they are?

We have also been watching videos of the New Year celebrations that are held in London every year. Here are some of our own firework pictures:
