Today we have included capital letters, fingers spaces and full stops to compose sentences for our class text ‘The Enormous Turnip’. Some children edited incorrect sentences that address common misconceptions and mistakes. We also had groups of children that listened to verbal sentences from a…

We have focused on the artist Paul Klee and learnt how his art was inspired by his travels to Tunisia in Africa. He enjoyed the bright bold colours and shapes all around him and used this within his work. We used one of his pieces as our inspiration and imitated his work using bold colours and…

We have been learning about instructions and what we need to include in a good set of instructions. Today we have followed a set of instructions to make rocket fruit skewers! Yum!

We have watched The Snowman and spoken about what a snowman should not do! In this imaginative story the snowman comes to life and does lots of things such as ride a motorbike, fly through that winter sky and sit by the fire and almost melt! We enjoyed writing about ‘what a snowman should not do’…

We have begun our new class text this week - Owl Babies. We have used Talk for Writing and role play to show our understanding of the book, the characters and their feelings. We can recall key elements of the story in order!

For Children In Need, we have been busy! We have come to School wearing yellow or something spotty and collected money donations to send to the charity. We have completed a walking challenge - where we did four laps of the running track outside. We have spoken about what charity is and looked into…

We have used part whole models and cubes to practically make number bonds within 10. We have shown different ways to make the same number. Some of us even wrote the addition number sentence for each one! 

In writing we have created our own story map to support our retell writing. We have broken the story into parts, wrote sentences/ captions for each and then drew images to remind us what happened during each part.

We have begun to use part whole models. We have used cubes to make the parts and then counted them altogether to write the whole. Some children turned their part whole model on its side or even upside down but still used the part whole model correctly! 

We have begun Gymnastics this half term and we have remembered a lot of the shapes that we made with our bodies from Reception. The children could show me a tuck, pike, straddle and star shape. We also recapped some more of the shapes that we may have forgotten about and used them in a sequence.
