With lots to look forward to in the final term of the year, Seahorse class have had a flying start to this terms topics. 

Maths 

Maths is all about the time. We have been identifying, estimating and comparing durations of time, by designing our own experiments and using our results to help us estimate how many times we could complete a task in a set amount of time. We have been working hard to tell the time accurately to the nearest minute digitally. You can help at home by asking us throughout the day, to show our skills and knowledge.  We are starting to look at the 24hr clock and clocks with Roman numeral, to gain a broad understanding of the concept. Next week we will be looking at time differences. 


English 

It's a non-fiction topic to start off this term. We will be deepening our understanding of the creatures of the rain forest, as we write information pages about our chosen animal. Scientific vocabulary, accurate facts, paragraphs, engaging sentence starts, conjunctions to compare and explain are all high our on checklist, as we make our own individual pages for a class book. 

Science 

During our new science topic all about plants, we have been dissecting, identifying and describing the parts and functions of a flower plant. Who knew how much was going in inside these beautiful blooms! 

Music 

Miss Furnell is rapidly adding new chords and songs to our repertoire during our ukulele lessons, as we start to prepare for our end of year performance. Save the date! Thursday 18th July pm. Invitations and further details coming soon!
