Today we launched our 'Farming fortnight'. I hope you all enjoyed seeing the tractor outside of school this morning! Over the next couple of weeks we will learn about local farming, visit Maiden Castle farm and focus on Harvest ready for our Harvest assembly next Friday.
In Literacy we are still focusing on our Rainforest topic. Today the children started to write their own 'What am I?' piece of writing. They had to include key facts such as the type of animal they were, describing colour, movement and diet. We had some fantastic descriptions of animals pouncing and stalking their prey.
In Maths we are still focusing on place value and in particular hundreds, tens and ones. Please do still go on mathletics. This should be updated now with some new challenges. Purplemash also has some fantastic resources on it.
Just a reminder about the farm visit on Wednesday. Normal school jumpers but home trousers and wellingtons please.
At the end of the day we were visited by Twinkle the calf. The children tasted cheese and got to understand a little more about dairy cows. All of the children loved this visitor. We are very privileged to have such amazing, hard working farmers near and involved with our school so thank you!
