AUTUMN TERM Beech Class 2019-2020
Mr Hawes, Mrs King, Mrs Guest and Miss Codd are all very excited to be working with the children in Beech Class this year. We've got a few familiar faces from last year and a whole bunch of new faces too, but we think that we have a really nice group of children and we are looking forward to working together to achieve our personal best this year.
Autumn term - With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
We have begun thinking about our key concepts of wealth, power and responsibility which tie in with our topic this term of Ancient Egypt.
We began by finding definitions of each word in the dictionary and finding synonyms in the thesaurus. We then discussed what each concept meant to us.
These key concepts will underpin all of the work we do across the curriculum this term.
BMX Growth Mindset
We have been using lots of resources in maths so that we can explain how we find the answers to calculations
Key stage 2 trip to the British Museum
A big thank you to all the children who brought in their fantastic homework projects!
In English we have begun working on instruction lists. We decided that recipes are types of instruction lists, so we wrote a set of instructions together for baking cupcakes.
In maths, we practised measuring out different masses and volumes so that we could measure out our ingredients accurately.
Later on this week we will have a go at following our instructions. We will evaluate how effective the instruction list was and (hopefully) get to eat some yummy cupcakes!
