This week we have written a set of instructions to teach people how to make Bob’s favourite cucumber sandwiches. We followed a set of instructions to make an alien spaceship and used this to identify the key features.
We have learnt that a good set of instructions will include:
- Numbered steps
- Bossy verbs
- Pictures
- Each step will be written on a new line
We then followed our instructions to make Bob’s yummy sandwich.
In maths we have been learning how to compare objects and amounts using the mathematical symbols: < > =
In science we have learnt about waterproof and absorbent materials. Bob needed our help designing a new suit. We tested a variety of materials to see if they if were absorbent or waterproof. In our conclusion, we decided that plastic or rubber would be the most appropriate material for Bob because these materials were waterproof and stronger than tinfoil.
In P.E we have been encouraging the children to get changed before the end of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peTnXmZxuZQ
Please could you help your child practise fastening their buttons and tying their tie in a smart knot.
This week we have been reviewing the following sounds:
ie (tie, lie)
ay (may, play)
ai (snail, rain)
a-e (make, cake)
Attached is the link to the Spelling Shed for the children to be able to revise these sounds: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
Next week it is the turn of the Beegu table for Show and Tell (Aaron, Lizzie, Chloe, Rodrigo and Michael).
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
