Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Summer Term
26.4.24
In English this week, we have been learning about the features of non-fiction texts. We read all about Scotland and made a mind map of interesting facts. We also researched Scotland and then we wrote our own reports, including a heading, picture and caption.
In maths we have been counting in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s. We have been looking at patterns, for example multiples of 5 end in 5 or 0. In our reading lessons we have been reading a non-fiction text about dolphins. We have explored vocabulary in the text and retrieved answers from the text.
Next week in maths, we will be recognising and adding equal groups.

Welcome back to school, we hope you have all had a lovely Easter break!
This half term our new topic is Amazing Places and Spaces in the UK. In English we have been writing our own versions of Traction Man using our toilet roll character villains.
In Maths, we have been learning about volume and capacity. We learnt that capacity means the maximum amount a container can hold. We also learnt that volume means how much a container has in it. We used dried pasta to find out the capacity of different containers. We used the language empty, nearly empty, half full, nearly full and full to talk about the volume.
In Geography, we have been looking at human and physical features in aerial photographs. We then labelled an aerial photograph of our own school and surroundings.
In Computing, we have been exploring a virtual Bee-Bot and programming buttons to make it move in various directions.
Next week in maths, we will be learning to count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10.
