We have had a shorter week this week as we all enjoyed a long Easter weekend. The children were keen to talk about what they had done over the weekend and we have had an enjoyable week leading up to the end of term.
In maths we have been learning about capacity. We used language such as full, empty, half full, overflowing, more and less to describe what we could see. The children were also encouraged to compare containers and to estimate quantities. We looked at the measures on the side of measuring containers and talked about that too. Some of the children recalled using measures when cooking so this would be a useful maths activity to do in the holidays. Bath times also lend themselves to exploring capacity.
On Thursday we had an RE day where we compared The Christian celebration of Easter with the Hindu celebration of Holi. We did a range of activities including making palm leaves, writing books and making colourful splatter paintings with chalk and paint. The whole school came together at the end of the day to share all our learning.
Remember to do the Easter Challenge as your Home learning activity and we wish you all an enjoyable and relaxing break.
