Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Summer Term
Welcome to the Summer term.
Week commencing 22/4/25
Week 1
A short but busy week. We welcomed the children back on Tuesday this week.
In maths we continued and finished our unit on measurement the children explored volume and capacity, temperature, ml and l. The children read scales and calculated using measurement.
In English we read the fantastic story, 'Audrey the amazing inventor'. This story is all about a young girl that would like to be an inventor but she invents lots of things but they all go wrong, then after a conversation with her adult she realises that you make mistakes and learn from then. She then takes her time to come up with a great plan and then she was successful. The children then acted this story out in a short drama session. We also explored past progressive verbs and present progressive verbs.
We introduced a new topic Marvellous Mechanisms, the children were given the opportunity to explore different mechanisms including wheels and levers. The children then learnt about a new artist named Jonathon Pradillon and he has a famous piece named Mechanics, created in 2015. The children took inspiration from this and recreated his artwork.
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Ayaz, Miss Higgs and Mrs Johnson
