This week is a busy one for me. I have some release time scheduled, a maths course to attend and Mrs Sanders will be in Room 5 on Wednesday, instead of her usual Friday.
Presentation of science research this week: Towards the end of the week the children will be presenting their research on bees and pollination to the class. This project has had a focus of a poster presentation instead of our usual slide show and talk. The children are focussing on transactional writing and have included such things as labelled diagrams, research information written in their own words and illustrations with an educational focus.
Note taking: This week we practiced the skill of note taking as we listened to our class visitor (Mr Whitaker) tell us about bees and pollination It was great to see the kids so interested in what Mr Whitaker had to say. We had a nice taste of honey in the comb too. Talking to an expert (biology teacher and hobby bee keeper) is a great way to learn more about a research topic. Thanks to Dad for coming in and being so cool with the kids.
This week there will be spelling and maths homework. Keep up the nightly reading too please - it really does make a difference to vocabulary, spelling, writing and of course reading mileage.
Have a great week parents. Don't forget to remind your kids that they are awesome!
Mrs Lyon.
