Well what a great start to the school year we have had in Beech Class! We have all been showing out school values of ready, respect and safe and trying really hard with our learning.
In English we have been exploring different types of nouns - common or proper. We have also looked at what a verb is and really enjoyed playing a verb hunt in the classroom!
Maths has been lots of fun especially when we have used our equipment such as base 10 and rekenreks to show a number with concrete materials. We have developed our knowledge of the place value of 2 digit numbers.
We have started our new geography topic - Hot and Cold Place Around the World. We have talked about the equator and placed countries onto a world map thinking about why they would be hot or cold. We have also learnt the continent song and the oceans song too!
Our special event this week was when ITV news came into our class to film our PATHS lesson. We showed them how to 'do the turtle' to help us to calm down - Twiggle also helped with this!
VIP for our first 2 weeks back has been awarded for being ready, respectful and safe. Thomas won this last week and this week it was awarded to Mabel. Well done!
