SUMMER 2 LEARNING
SUMMER ONE - A QUICK ROUND-UP!
APRIL / MAY 2019
What a term! Goldfinch have been working hard, really hard. We seem to have packed in an awful lot in the last few weeks. English has seen some outstanding writing based on true life survival stories on mountains. The writing has been of a real quality, the children have embraced the topic working individually and with partners. Their story mapping skills have sharpened to then allow them to write, drawing on their newly-acquired punctuation and grammar skills. You are welcome to come and look at our Writing Wall or at the children's books. to see for yourself! 
Maths has brought around Decimals and Shape, primarily angles. Lots of skill building has been in evidence, using their prior knowledge, to solve those tricky problem-solving questions. Reasoning has forced Goldfinch to be more focused in their use of mathematical vocabulary which is great to see! 
Our topic work, all based around Mountains, has caused a stir! Geography and map skills!... Science - discovering about different animals who live on various mountains... RE - Buddhism and pilgrimages... Art - using a variety of media to draw and paint in the style of two artists who use mountains as the focus for their artwork.
Please come in and see our working walls if you'd like a peek!
