Hansel and Gretel
We read our new class text this week. We enjoyed getting to know the story and characters by taking part in a role-play lesson. We then carried out class discussions about the choices that the characters make at different points of the story.
What is area?
We've been learning about area this week and decided to use post-it notes to explore how we can measure the space taken up by a shape.
Throwing and Catching
We have been developing our throwing and catching skills in PE. We used the underarm technique to throw a ball or beanbag to our peers. Using our hand-eye coordination, we practised throwing and catching from a variety of distances.
