Friday 1st March

What another fantastic week in Bumblebee class!

We have been learning about instruction writing in our English lessons this week and have had great fun following and giving instructions.  At the beginning of the week, we followed instructions to make jam sandwiches - they were delicious!  We decided that instructions have to be given in the correct order otherwise things can get a bit messy!  Later in the week, we planted sunflowers and next week we will be writing our own instructions on how to grow a sunflower.

We have been measuring mass in our Maths lessons and have used the bucket scales and cubes to help us compare and order objects according to their weight.  At times, it was quite tricky getting the scales to balance and we had to remember to only put one cube in at a time but we all managed it in the end.

We continued  our learning about Henri Rousseau this week and have practised using different techniques to shade and colour.  We have also experimented with using primary colours to make green and then used the different shades that we made to paint and print leaves ready for our collage work next week.

On Wednesday we were really lucky to have the opportunity to listen to a live concert. We were able to see the instruments up close and appreciate how much practise is involved! The people played instruments from the medieval period and they looked very funny. They made some wonderful sounds.

Next week...

Thursday - World Book Day - come dressed as a word.
