We have used water soluble pens to draw shells and spirals. We then added water to it and watched the ink spread.

We have had a walk to the local park and taken the bear with us. We had lots of fun and so did the bear! When we got back to School, we realised that we had left the bear at the park! Oh no! 

We have used the mathematical vocabulary greater than, less than and equal to, to compare amounts practically using the correct symbols.

We have compared groups of amount using the vocabulary fewer, more and the same. The children used counters, cubes or compare bears to make two groups and then verbally said if the groups were fewer, more or the same - “I have fewer counters than cubes. I have more cubes than counters.” They all…

In Science we have been learning about our five senses. For this lesson we have used our sense of touch, smell and taste. First we have put our hand into the box and used our sense of touch to explore the mystery items. Then we have used our sense of smell to smell the items in the cup to guess…

We have practically worked out what one less of a given number is using the tens frames and the cubes. We made the number that was written on our tens frame, took one cube away and verbally said what one less of the given number is. 

During Geography, we have used our iPad to record our voice labelling the features of Stoke-on-Trent. The children enjoyed using this new app whilst using our geographical language to complete their task.

During Maths, we have practically worked out what is one more than a given number. We have used concrete objects and the tens frames to make our given number, add one more to it and watch our number become larger!

We have begun our new class text called ‘This is the bear and the scary night’ 

We have enjoyed using actions and phrase to retell the story during our Talk For Writing lesson. Look at the story map we have created together as a class! 

This half term we have Yoga on a Monday. We have practiced lots of different jungle poses and have been building on creating a jungle story using them. We have perfected the parrot, tree and log pose!
