Spring Term Learning Journey – The Future is Ours <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reception:<\/strong> This week, we have been developing our understanding of the concepts of past and present. We explored the stories \u2018Once There Were Giants\u2019, \u2018The Growing Story\u2019 and \u2018The House That Once Was\u2019, which inspired some fantastic conversations. We have been making great use of our making links tool, talking about what stays the same and what changes as time goes by. Our biggest highlight of the week was playing \u2018Guess the Baby\u2019; we had so much fun looking at baby photos of many of our Reception children!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Year 1<\/strong> have had a great first week back! It has been lovely to hear all about the children\u2019s holiday adventures and they have really enjoyed sharing these with the class.\u00a0 We have started exploring our new book in Literacy \u2013 Iggy Peck Architect and have used our imagining <\/strong>tool to think about how Iggy is feeling at different points in the story. The children were great at using the personal pronoun \u2018I\u2019 to write in the first person as if they were Iggy. They came up with some fantastic synonyms for the word \u2018sad\u2019. Well done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Year 2<\/strong> have enjoyed making links<\/strong> in science as we started our new unit on living things: animals including humans. We used our reasoning<\/strong> tool to explain the key differences between mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds and had lots of fun looking at the young of lots of different animals.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Year 3<\/strong> have enjoyed getting stuck into our new learning journey for this half term. We have used our imagining<\/strong> tool to write wonderful setting descriptions for our new book Escape From Pompeii. We have also used our asking questions<\/strong> and collaboration<\/strong> tools to discuss and dissect the parts of a flowering plant in science.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Year 4<\/strong> have embraced the idea that to understand the future, we must first understand the past! Using our imagining<\/strong> and asking questions<\/strong> tools, we have gone way back to the earliest days of our planet as part of our new Literacy book, ‘The Ever-Changing Earth’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Year 5<\/strong>: This week in literacy we used our making links<\/strong> tool to try and work out the features of science fiction as a genre. We thought about books and films we knew and what they had in common. In science, we used our reasoning<\/strong> tool to work out how far away each planet is from Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Year 6 <\/strong>have had a great start to our final term at Dulwich Wood Primary School. We have been using our planning <\/strong>and imagining<\/strong> tools to write our own prequel to our text ‘Paradise Sands’, using figurative language and dialogue to advance action. We also celebrated World Environment Day, creating artwork using salt dough and watercolours to educate others about plastic pollution in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Summer 2 all the year groups will be delivering their RSE lesson sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
