Weekly new 28th February 2019

So this week, we have started our new topic, 'Playlist'. On Monday morning, we listened to some pan pipe music and had a think about how we could make our own, which we then did. The children then wrote tunes that they could perform.

In the afternoon, we held a concert. Mr Allen played the piano and saxophone and Mr Clarke showed some tunes that he is learning on the banjo. Children also performed on piano, ukelele and pan pipes.

We have also spent some time this week looking at instruments from around the world, using atlases and maps to locate the countries that they come from.

In English this half term, we will be mostly looking at poetry. This week, we began to write some of our own which will should be good practise for the composing and songwriting that we will be doing.

In maths, we have started looking (again!) at fractions. For the next few weeks, we will be adding and subtracting them as well as finding fractions of quantities.
