This week Giraffe Class have been learning:

English

• We drew and wrote story maps showing the story of ‘The Jungle Book’.
• We described the animals that Mowgli met in the jungle.
• We practised our reading comprehension skills.

Maths

• We looked at fractions and found halves, quarters and thirds of amounts.
• We solved a variety of problems involving fractions.
• We reminded ourselves of the strategies we would use to add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Topic

• We updated our seed diaries by observing and recording how our sunflowers had started to grow.
• We designed plant pots for our sunflower seeds using recycled materials.
• We started to look at pop art and the artist Andy Warhol.
• We drew our own self-portraits and used watercolour pencils to colour them.

Giraffes have worked extremely hard this week; well done!

Next week we will begin to look at the story of ‘Aladdin’ and we will retell the story in our own words. We will continue to practise solving a variety of problems in maths.
