Shape and weather for Leopard Class

This week, we saw the arrival of our Christmas tree and Kindness Elves (who our class has named Coco Bear)! It truly is the start of the busy Christmas month. 

We are beginning our nativity practise and the children are working hard with their beautiful singing. Please can any costumes please be in for Thursday 7th December .

This week, we have continued with shape, including naming and finding the edges, faces and vertices of 3D shapes. As you can see, the children have had a go at making them with straws and playdough and they have done an amazing job. 

In English, the children wrote a bit of a non-chronological report on penguins each day. They checked and decorated them on Friday. The children worked really hard to include the features, such as sub-headings and facts, in addition to using conjunctions and commas in a list. We enjoyed a virtual visit from the author John Dougherty on Wednesday and he read us his story of ‘There’s a pig up my nose’, sang us a song and played his guitar. 

The children were practising their balancing skills again on Monday and on Thursday, they applied what they have learned in hockey (dribbling, passing and shooting) to a rotation of activities. We made sure we got our heart rate up to ensure we were exercising well. 

We have started a new topic for Geography- ‘Why does the weather change so much?’  We have been outside the classroom in our role of meteorologists to observe the weather and record it with the correct weather symbols.  We have also learnt about the weather patterns in the different seasons and coastal and inland locations. 

Hope you have a lovely weekend,

Miss McMillan and the Leopard Class team :)

NOTE:

Miss McMillan will be out on Thursday for her planning time so Leopard Class will have a supply teacher.

There is a non-uniform day on Friday 8th December.
