Autumn 2 Learning

November 2024

Hawthorn children are Musicians and Mathematicians! This term in Hawthorn, we have been having weekly visits from Paul from Live Music Now. He has been working with us in class to create a Children in Need song. We used boomwhackers of different lengths to make different sounds and tapped them together. In Maths, we have been using cubes to measure length and have been continuing to develop our recognition of Numicon.

In Laurel Class this week we have been getting excited for Halloween by reading the book ‘Funnybones’.

We have particularly enjoyed playing with Halloween props linked to the story, and even learnt the ‘skeleton dance’!

We have also used symbol boards to match Halloween related symbols such as pumpkins, monsters and ghosts, which has helped us to learn this vocabulary too.
