Spring 2 Week 1

Date: 3rd Mar 2024 @ 2:42pm

Take a look at what the Wonderful Woodpeckers have been learning about this week…

Maths

This week, the children have been learning about tenths and hundredths and also, how to divide one and two digit numbers by 10 and 100. Furthermore, at the end of the week the children began learning about how to put decimal numbers into ascending and descending order.  

English

During this week, the children started looking at explanation texts. They found out that they would be writing an explanation text about States of Matter for Mrs Dewsbury. The children looked at an example of a good explanation text and identified the features in it. Then they made a poster of all of the features that would need to be included in their writing.    

Other Areas

This week, the children took part in their first Forest School session. The children really enjoyed playing a game of hide and seek and they are very excited about their next session on Monday. In Topic this week, the children began their first mini project called ‘States of Matter’. They investigated how we could make ice melt faster and whether adding salt, heat, stirring it, or doing nothing, would have any effect on the time it took to make the ice melt. They found out that heat and stirring sped up the process of ice melting.
