Beech Class: Week 3 (20.01.25)

Date: 22nd Jan 2025 @ 10:17am

This week in Beech Class we have started to explore a new book in English lessons - The Tiger Who Came to Tea. We have explored the character's feelings and played a drama game 'conscience alley' to voice our opinions about what Sophie should do at a particular point in the story.

In maths we have started exploring division and we have used practical apparatus to create groups when sharing. We started looking at equal / unequal groups then moved on to grouping in equal groups of a certain amount.

In computing we have been looking at photo editing which has been lots of fun! We have also started a new topic in geography - cities, towns and villages. We have recapped the countries in the UK and their capital cities. We then discussed what a city is and the human and physical features you would find there. The children looked at satelite maps of the UK and the world when exploring populations and where most people live. Then we learnt about our capital city - London - and all the human and physical features that we could find there including some very famous landmarks!

On Wednesday, we had an exciting visit from a young child author. Max has 2 sisters with autism and has written 2 books that have been published. He took questions from the class and they found the session really interesting!

Coach Olivia's star of the week was Brandon G for his great participation in his racquet skills lesson. Well done!

Our VIP winner this week was Dexter for showing great enthusiasm and answering lots of questions in science lessons about habitats and homes. Well done!

Next week in school is assessment week. This is an oppportunity for the children to really show off what they have learnt so far this year!
