Week Commencing 21st September 2015

This week we have started reading Superworm and have been acting out parts of the story. The children have chosen their own superpower and what how they would use it, and they have made superhero/supervillain capes to represent their powers. As the week progresses they will be writing sentences with a focus on beginning with a capital letter and the use of finger spaces. We have also been looking at the correct formation for letters i, l and t. Our maths and topic work have combined this week as we have been looking at eye colour. The children have completed three different bar charts to measure the number of people in the class with brown, blue, green or grey eyes in each class. We have made a human bar chart where the children have represented their own eye colour; a visual bar chart on the floor using coloured paper to represent their eye colour; and used the 2simple software to create a bar chart. We have then analysed the information to see which was the most common eye colour, which was the least common and how many more brown eyes there are than blue or green eyes. The children are looking forward to showing you what they have done so far at the open afternoon this Thursday - we hope to see you there.
