Amazon had a fabulous start to Forest School with great team work and exploration. Nile were den building and making mobiles this week.
Both classes started swimming lessons this week. It was a very successful start with all the children showing independence, organisation and courage. There is a great deal for them to remember but most managed very well. Now the children have been assessed by the swim teachers at Parkside they will be put into 3 groups most appropriate to their level for lessons going forward. Read a report here by a budding Nile reporter: Making a Splash
Making progress in instruction writing was hugely helped by the incentive of designing, making and eating sandwiches in class this week. Again the children showed great teamwork and critical assessment of their own and others work. Tasty learning.
In science, we have been learning about where our electricity comes from, and the potential dangers of mains electricity and how to be safe around it. Next week, building circuits.
Next week in English: Making progress in developing and using persuasive language, and in Maths we will be focusing on multiplication fluency and mastery skills in 7, 9, 11 and 12 times table.
