Math	This week we’ve been learning all about symmetry and right angles in 2D shapes. We’ve found lines of symmetry by folding shapes to check if they’re even on both sides and we’ve sorted them into venn diagrams based on their features.	Sort shapes according to their properties using a 2-way Carroll diagram Understand that 2D shapes with straight sides are polygons and so identify polygons
Humanities	This week we used paper mache to make our model islands.	to identify likes and dislikes about a place - Koh Samet and Bangkok.
Science	This week we focussed our attention on animals and their young. This included the objective of knowing the appropriate vocabulary for animal babies such as ‘calf, foal and owlet’ to name a few. We also looked at the differences between animals and their babies in their appearance.	that babies and children need to be looked after while they are growing to ask questions in order to make simple comparisons of babies and toddlers
Art	We used newspaper and cardboard to construct our model islands.	To paint our islands models using appropriate colours.
PSHE	We made a class ‘web’ by passing a ball of string across a circle and saying something nice about the person we passed it too. In the end we were all connected and we felt good too because we’d given lots of compliments.	New beginnings PSHE scheme.
