Learners have been looking closely at how things work this week. In DT our focus is mechanisms. This week we have learned about input motion and output motion and have identified the everyday objects that would need this movement. We delighted in creating our own moving pictures with a slider mechanism.

In Maths we are learning about money and this week we have been counting in pound and pence and have successfully been able to choose a given amount, using different coins.
In English, we are loving the inspiring music of Peter and the Wolf. This wonderful music is guiding our poetry writing over the next few weeks. This week we have been introduced to each character and instrument and have been collecting adjectives that we will use in our poetry.
Reading is always high on our enjoyment list in Learners class, we have visited the library and have enjoyed listening to many new poems this week. Learners love to enjoy library books at home with their families, alongside their own school reading book.
Swimming sessions are showing incredible progress. We will be finishing our block of session this half-term, but the confidence and progress made is astonishing! We are incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to learn cricket skills each week. This week we enjoyed bowling and learning the correct way to stand and throw!
Learners have also enjoyed writing letters to the Linda Community School in Zambia this week and are excited that these letters will be delivered soon by Jo and John for the Zambezi Sunrise Trust. We are looking forward to Jo and John’s visit to Sleights next week, when we will zoom call with Livingston in Zambia.
Check in with us next week to see what we have been learning about!
Learners love to learn!
