This week in Devon

Week beginning 23rd February

Welcome back! The children rushed in on Monday morning with plenty of energy after a mix of restful and exciting half terms!

In English, the class have enjoyed the first chapter of this term's book: The Boy at the Back of the Class. They found the description of some of the main character's friends particularly entertaining and have all been very eager for me to read them more of the book. This week, we will be planning and writing a story from Ahmet's perspective about arriving at his new school.

In Maths, we have wrapped up our learning on perimeter and are moving onto fractions. Please use lots of opportunities to talk about fractions at home. Are they sharing the chocolate bar in equal halves with their siblings? What fraction of their pizza did they eat for dinner? How many days out of the week have they practised their times tables?

Our Science topic this term is all about grouping and classification. Devon enjoyed grouping their water bottles based on different properties such as colour, size, patterns and the presence of straws. 

Thank you to everyone who brought in recycling for linked learning on the last day of term. The class thoroughly enjoyed using the items to build mountains in their groups!
