This week in Wheatgrass Class...

·         In literacy this week we have been thinking about poems. We read a poem about African animals and talked about its features. We then had a go at writing some words to describe our favourite African animal.

·         In maths this week the Reception children had great fun using the Bee-bots to help us with our understanding of position and direction. The year one children have been learning how to read the time to the hour and solve time problems.

·         In our topic work this week we have been learning about life in an African village. We also used the Ipads to help us record and listen to different messages. On Thursday we also performed a song at the school music concert.

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter!
