It has been another lovely week of learning in Swifts.
In English, the children have finished their wonderful narratives based on ‘Frog and the Stranger’. They worked hard to bring their ideas to life, using the book as inspiration. We have now begun our new text, ‘How to Make Friends with a Ghost’ by Rebecca Green, which the children are already enjoying.
Maths has been very practical and active this week. The children used Lego and other classroom items to help them understand greater than and less than. They enjoyed comparing numbers and explaining which number was larger or smaller. We also took part in some relay races, working in teams to count in 10s to 100.
Swifts also participated in a habitat walk this week in science. They explored our school grounds and even spotted a squirrel! The children also managed to find lots of minibeasts like woodlice.
In PE, we have been developing our ball control skills. The children practised different balances with large balls and competed against each other in a race whilst keeping their ball under control.
In PSHE, we talked about healthy eating and how the food we eat helps our bodies grow, stay strong and gives us energy for our busy days.
In Art, the children have been developing their sketching skills. They looked carefully at different artists and their work, sharing their ideas about what they noticed and the techniques the artists may have used.
Have a great weekend!
