Movement, Maths and Mr Magnolia
As you can see in one of these pictures, this week we have started dancing! We worked with Primary Partnership P.E. teacher Debbie Scroggs to create a dance based on the theme of Hawaii. We will take it to a dance festival at Ashton Park School on 12th February to which parents are invited! More details will follow in a letter nearer the time.
We have also been working very hard at maths strategies to add and subtract 9 and 11 - another of the pictures here shows some very enthusiastic people who dashed up after their lunch to carry on working!
Also this week we finished our unit of poetry and had lots of fun changing the Quentin Blake story poem which goes ... Mr Magnolia has only one boot ... into Mr Magnolia has only one SOCK! Here's a picture of one group's work - the rest are on the classroom wall so please come and take a look!
