On Friday we did some beautiful artwork  with Ruth. The children were very focused and proud of their work. We drew animals and then printed them.

What a busy week we have had! In Numeracy we have been regrouping numbers to 20. We started by making ten frames and then moved onto the cherry model. The children have found a number of ways to make different numbers. We have had great fun using playdough and conkers to help.

Our role play area has been transformed into a Gruffalo cafe. The children made labels and pictures to decorate the cafe. The food looks delicious! We loved reading the story the Gruffalo and creating our own scary monsters. I have seen some amazing adjectives to describe their characters.  On Thursday it was National Poetry Day so we looked at animal rhyming poems. The children enjoyed performing the poems and thinking of lots of rhyming words.IMG_0604 - Copy - CopyIMG_0607 - Copy IMG_0618 - Copy IMG_0627 - Copy IMG_0628 IMG_0630 IMG_0632 IMG_0635 IMG_0639

In PE we have been practising our throwing and catching. The children have got very good at catching and using their number skills to add up their points.

Each Friday we are lucky to have Ruth, an Art teacher to help us with out Art skills. We have been using objects from nature to sketch.

Week 3

What a busy week! It started with a letter from Mayor Trembull to say that a huge, ferocious bear had been seen near a cave on the beach. The children were asked to investigate this. They made their own cave explorer badges and they wrote a plan of what they would do if they saw the bear. The children made their own cave in the playground and kept checking the bear had not entered it. Then we went on a bear hunt and we found a bear in our cave! Luckily the bear is very good and he watches the children and tells me who has been working hard.

In Maths, we have been looking how the number of objects stays the same even when we rearrange the pattern. The children have got very good at recognising the patterns of numbers on dice and dominos.
