This week Giraffe Class have been learning:

English

• We began to look at the story ‘Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters’ by John Steptoe.
• We predicted what could happen next at different points of the story.
• We described the setting of the story.
• We compared the story to other traditional tales from other countries.

Maths

• We discussed the importance of information tables and how they are used.
• We created our own tally and bar charts to find out our favourite colours.
• We interpreted the data and explained our findings.
• We sorted shapes using Caroll diagrams.

Topic

• We enjoyed writing about the favourite parts of our holidays.
• We started our new topic all about Africa!
• We found out about the different habitats animals live in and how they survive in that habitat.
• We identified the continents of the world and located each using maps and atlases.

Well done Giraffes; what an excellent first week back!

Next week we are writing our own versions of a traditional tale and continuing to look at different charts and graphs in maths.
