A Plastic Problem

This week we have been learning about plastic pollution in our oceans.

Did you know that scientists predict there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish by 2050 if we don’t do something soon? In Willow Class we felt that this is something we need to change.

We designed persuasive posters to explain to people what is happening and how people can help. Next week we will be writing a letter to Mr Quinn informing him about how we can be a plastic smart school.

This week in maths we have been learning about fractions. We have learnt that fractions means pieces and that the bottom number (denominator) tells you how many pieces to make. We used playdough and counters to help us make half of a shape and an amount. Next week we will be moving on to quarters.

In art we have made a beautiful clay pot with a shell print. Next week we will be painting our clay pots to bring home.

In phonics we have been reviewing the following sounds:

 

ur (nurse with a purse)

oa (goat in a boat)

ow (blow the snow)

o-e (phone home)

There are words containing these sounds for the children to practise available on the Spelling Shed website: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login

We hope the sun reappears and that you have a lovely weekend,

Miss Luetchford and Mrs Sharon 🙂
