The children have had a busy week learning lots of new skills, here's a snippet of what's been happening this week....... and what this week’s homework is :) 

This week in English the children have been engaging with and performing poetry.

We've created mind maps on what we as a class thought poetry is, identified and listed features found in poetry, for example; repeated phrases. We then looked at a range of list poems and realised that a list poem is a list of items, people, places, or ideas that are related to a particular subject. For example, an apple. Then we listened to a list poem called ‘To do list’ and discussed how we could turn the poem in to a performance. After that we worked in small groups to read and performing a range of list poems to the class.

It's been great to hear about all the events, days out and holidays that the children have had over the summer.  The children have settled in well to Red Class and are picking up the new routines promptly. They have also got stuck in to discussing Longmeadow's new values by dissecting the children's understanding of the terms  and how they can be seen in Red Class.
