Bushey and Oxhey Infant School

Week 4 27.1.20

This week Kangaroo Class have been learning:

English

We finished writing our own versions of the story ‘Supertato’.
We discussed the features of poetry.
We found the rhyming couplets in a given poem and then found our own rhyming words.
We focused on the phonic sound ‘e_e’ (theme).

Maths

We used tens frames to make numbers to twenty.
We described each number in relation to ten, using the language ‘ten and … more’.
We started to use Base Ten (dienes) to describe numbers in terms of tens and ones.
We made numbers to twenty using dienes.

Topic

It was Art Week! In Kangaroo Class we focused on the artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth.
We found out about her life and looked at the different sculptures she has created.
We made necklaces based on the sculpture ‘Spring’. We used clay and focused on creating the same shape and different patterns.
We were inspired by Barbara Hepworth to create our own sculptures of Supertato!
On Friday Miss Kerr taught us all about a different art skill; tie- dye! We created our own pieces of tie-dyed fabric.

What an exciting Art Week; well done!
