The end of another busy week!
We’ve been learning about the different types of sentences we can use for different purposes.
Statements, commands, questions and exclamation sentences… you could find out more about them here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkxxsbk/articles/zvp6dp3
We have thought about exclamation sentences which often start with ‘how’ or ‘what’ and include a verb:
-What an amazing idea that is!
-How wonderful you are!
We have also remembered different celebrations that some people celebrate, such as Christmas for many Christians and Passover for many Jewish people. We learnt that one of our friends was celebrating Ramadan this week so we have been counting down the days until it started! We enjoyed hearing our friend teach us about Ramadan.

We are enjoying learning about the Bog Baby book in literacy too.
In maths we have been learning about fractions including halves, quarters and thirds.
We have looked at the picture ‘Starry Night’ by Van Gogh, we have focussed on recreating the spiral patterns of the moon and the stars and using various shades of blues to recreate the effect Van Gogh created. We have used different media to create different effects. We originally used coloured pencils, then experimented with oil pastels and watercolours. We enjoyed seeing how the oil pastels created a barrier between the water and the paper.
