In Parakeet Class @FP. we have been working really hard this week at adding two 4-digit numbers using exchanges. The children found this really tricky and we did lots of practical activities using dienes and place value charts. By the end of the week, we had made great improvements. Why don’t you get us to show you?

We love computing in Parakeet class and this term we have been learning all about animations. We made our own flick books to see how they work. Last week we made a storyboard for a simple animation and this week we will be using an ipad to make our animation come to life!

In music we have been learning how to find the beat and learn the song ‘Mamma Mia’ by Abba. The children love singing along. They have been getting better and better at the glockenspiels and we are beginning to sound brilliant!

 History we have been learning all about ‘Vikings’. We have looked at how they lived, raided and travelled. The children worked in groups to create information posters which they then presented to the class.
