Week beginning 5th November



Remember, remember the fifth of November, 
Gunpowder treason and plot. 
We see no reason 
Why gunpowder treason 
Should ever be forgot! 

Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent 
To blow up king and parliament. 
Three score barrels were laid below 
To prove old England's overthrow. 

By god's mercy he was catch'd 
With a darkened lantern and burning match. 
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring. 
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him? 
Burn him! 

The children have been really enjoying reading and writing firework poems. We are trying hard to use new and ambitious words to describe what we see and hear. 

 




We are going to use our new vocabulary to help us write our own poems later this week.

In Maths we have been do geometry! We have started looking at 3D shapes and been describing and sorting them.




It's definitely a cube!

It's made of 8 little cubes

King of cubes & cuboids!

"It's Norwich Cathedral!"

Constructing 3D shapes from 2D shapes

Investigating cubes and cuboids

Identifying and sorting 3D shapes

Ideas for your home learning...


  • do some firework pictures or paintings, describe the colours and shapes you make
  • write some onomatopoeic words that describe how fireworks sound e.g. pop, whizz, fizz, crackle 
  • find out about the wonderful festival of Diwali
  • make some models of 3D shapes using construction toys
  • use junk modelling to make a model from 3D shapes
