week beginning 2nd March

Last week Class 2 started an exciting journey with Captain Cook! The children used Power Points and DVD clips and stories to find out about his early life and then wrote recounts of this. In design and technology the children made some labelled sketches of Captain Cook's ship the Endeavour. This week they are going to begin to make their own replicas of the ship, using their ideas from their sketches. Here are some of the sketches:

Also this week, in Literacy at the beginning of the week we are starting to look at books by Jeannie Baker. She was born in England and now lives in Australia. She is an author - artist famous for special collage constructions in her books, which look at environmental issues. At the end of the week our theme literacy will take us back to Captain Cook's exciting journey to New Zealand and Australia.
Our maths this week looks at number and place value, mental multiplication and division, and frations, ratio and proportion!
On top of all this, we will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday, coming into school as a favourite book character ............ so will we know who is who?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
