Learning Journey \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ‘Global Identities’<\/span><\/h3>\n

A snapshot of our week at Dulwich Wood:<\/span><\/p>\n

Reception –<\/strong> we have been enjoying a range of different fiction books related to Mini-beasts (e.g. What the Ladybird heard on Holiday, Super-Worm, Tad, etc.). We have been expressing our opinions on the texts and writing down what we like about them. In maths, we have been revisiting 2D and 3D shapes and their properties. The children have enjoyed finding all kinds of shapes in the environment!<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 1 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> this has been another fantastic week of learning. We have continued to write our own narratives based on \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Magic Bed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by John Burningham. We have used our own fantastical setting and a wide range of adjectives to develop our narratives. Some of our stories have been absolutely out of this world and we have shared them with adults around in school! In maths, we have started to identify and recognise different coins. It was great fun looking at the size and value of each coin. At home this weekend why not talk money!. Think about the value and what can be bought with coins. When shopping look at the prices of different items and think about what coins you will need to make that amount!<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 2 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> we have loved learning all about the history of Crystal Palace this week. Our eyes lit up as we made links between what it used to be like, and what it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like now. What has made this topic even more exciting is the fact that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going on a trip to Crystal Palace Park on the 16th July to visit the museum and use our map finding skills when we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re there. We have also been using our planning tool to plan out our own version of the story \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcA Journey Home\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 using endangered animals of our choice. Lots of us have been making links with our learning at school and at home by bringing in posters we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve made, different facts we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered and books about endangered animals. We love sharing these with the rest of the class!<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 3 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> we have linked our literacy and science together and made our own shadow puppet theatre with characters from Cloud Tea Monkeys. We have been investigating how moving a light source changes the shadow of the puppets and have been recording our measurements so we can draw our own conclusions. We have also really enjoyed creating our own plays linked to Cloud Tea Monkeys using our shadow puppets characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 4\/5 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> we have been continuing reading The Odyssey, focussing on creating dialogue between two main characters. We used drama to act out our speeches, which helped us create interesting adverbial phrases to describe our characters. We have compared two ancient Greek city states, Athens and Sparta. In science, we set up and explored dissolving, devising fair tests and then testing a variety of substances from sugar to oats, we all feel we are now experts at working scientifically! Today we watched the violin players involved in the strings project perform \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWombat Stew\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. They were amazing, so professional, everyone was super impressed. We were delighted to hear that the project will be extended next year giving more children at Dulwich Wood the opportunity to learn the violin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 6 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong> this week we became palaeontologists, carrying out a range of science investigations relating to evolution. We started by identifying scientific evidence to support arguments then looked at a range of sources and real-life fossils to create the best habitats for the animals which once roamed the planet. At the end of the week, we carried out an \u00e2\u20ac\u02dceggxtravaganza’ investigation testing the strength of eggs, then working in teams we planned and set up a suitable test trying a variety of weights and positions to test. We had our last SRE day on Monday and are now looking forward to hearing from the drugs education team and the Met Police about knife and gun crime.<\/span><\/p>\n
