It has been a super week in Buckinghamshire 1!
We have continued our learning about sea shanties and even had a go at writing some of our own. We have looked at 'Roll the old chariot along', 'South Australia' and 'The Wellerman'. Can your child show you any of the actions that they made up for when they were rehearsing as a class?
When writing our own sea shanty's, the children used some of the key vocabulary that they had been taught for example, 'haul', 'cargo' and 'hoist'. We are in the process of writing our own sea themed poems using exciting vocabulary. You may want to share some poems with your children at home.
In Maths we have moved onto our next chapter: Multiplication and division. The children are very excited to learn the new vocabulary and would love to practise it further on Times tables rockstars! We have begun by looking at equal groups and saying out loud what we can see e.g. 'There are 4 groups, with 2 in each group, there are 8 altogether -> four twos is equal to 8'. Can your child spot any representations of this at home or whilst out and about? Groups of pencils, flowers or dry pasta all make good problems to solve.
In Art we have continued to look at our topic of 'Street views', looking carefully at various artists' approaches to this. Some use thick brush strokes, other use pen line drawing and some even use a program on a computer to do their art. Can your child have a go at showing you this at home?
In History we have continued to look at the history of our school, noting down key facts and dates when certain buildings were created. We have begun to look at the site of our school and what it might look like on an aerial map. We have been comparing the size of buildings and how they have changed over the years since the school was built.
In RE we have begun learning about Judaism and items that are special within this religion. We have discussed the Star of David and thoroughly enjoyed looking at artefacts such as the Menorah and the kippah. We asked questions about the items and look forward to finding out some of the answers later this term!
Thank you so much for your continued support and we look forward to sharing more of our learning over Term 5. `
