Her creations don’t turn out the way she wants, and she becomes increasingly frustrated. But instead of giving up, the girl shows incredible perseverance. She takes a break, calms down and bravely returns to her project with fresh determination. Eventually, through trial and error, she succeeds in creating something that is not only magnificent but also just right for her and her dog. The children beautifully captured the message of resilience and creativity, reminding us all that it’s okay to find things tricky — and that with patience and persistence, we can achieve great things.
In maths, the children have turned their attention to addition and subtraction, building on their previous learning of number bonds to 10 and related facts to find bonds to 100. The focus has also been on multiples of 10 that have bonds to 100. They have worked on choosing strategies required to work out addition and subtraction facts efficiently and quickly.
In English, the children are getting ready to write their very own stanza based on Edward Lear’s poem, “The Jumblies”. These funny creatures went to sea in a sieve, so the children have set to work, choosing equally nonsense vessels for their own Jumblies to sail in; choices range from a basket, a carpet and even a bath-tub – in fact, the stranger the better! We shall complete our own poetry writing next week. The children have also started to learn to recite the poem, and aim to have it learnt off by heart by the end of next week.
Enjoy a relaxing weekend.
