Children In Need - 18.11.16

This week has been work shadowing week and we have loved having our grown ups in school and showing them all of our learning.


In English, we have been using our nocturnal facts to create non-chronological reports. We have included headings, subheadings, introduction and paragraphs.
'When hedgehogs are born, they are blind for 14 days' - Tommy
'Foxes bury their food underground when they are full up and save it for later' - Beth
'Badgers live in big groups. Their home is called a Sett' - Charlie


In Maths, we have been learning about money. We know that the same amount can be made in different ways e.g.
10p + 10p = 20p (Kiki)
5p + 5p + 5p + 5p = 20p (Isabelle)
We have been using empty numberlines to add and subtract amounts.


Yesterday was World Philosophy Day. To read 'Zoo' by Anthony Brown and thought about whether animals should be kept in zoo's. We looked at both sides of the argument...
Freddie said 'If animals are injured, zoo's have vets to help make them better but they wouldn't have those in the wild'
Erin said 'Not all animals have a lot of space in zoo's and they are not in their natural habitat'.
We know that there is no right or wrong answer in philosophy and we have to respect everyone's ideas.


Today is Children in Need. Thank you to everyone who has dressed up, brought a teddy and donated money to help children who are less fortunate than us.


The library will now be open on Thursday and Friday mornings between 8.30-8.45 if you would like to visit with your grown ups.
