This week in maths we have used the play dough to make different 2D shapes. We are super confident with their names and we were able to discuss some of their properties. We focused on using words such as ‘curved and straight’. The children could recall how many sides and corners the shapes had and…

This week we have had a new role play area. This has supported our new topic ‘Amazing Animals’. The children have been using the names of the animals and we have been exploring how to care for animals and what they need. 
We will be learning further about the care animals need, including…

Our new topic this term is ‘Amazing Animals’. We have been looking at different animals this week and talking about their names, what they look like, where they live and if we could have them as a pet or not. 
We enjoyed talking about the animals that we have at home and animals that we have seen…

We have recapped our counting skills. 
I am super impressed with our progress and confidence when counting. The children’s determination to reach their goal is amazing. We counted regular and irregular arrangements in different contexts. 

Happy Spring! We hope you enjoyed your cards. We have loved learning about the Season and looking forward to seeing more signs.

We used printing to decorate a rabbit on the front of our card and wrote our names.

Cornflake cakes are traditionally used at…

Miss Mayer then gave us water with added salt. This tricked us and the egg floated at the top of the water!

To celebrate Science day we explored colour mixing by making rainbows. We have been very interested in rainbows as we are moving in to Spring and seeing different weather types. 
We coloured our rainbows and added water to watch them grow!

We have done lots of learning about minibeasts this week. Identifying different minibeasts we find in the garden and their habitats. The children have been using fine motor skills to catch the minibeasts with tweezers. We have completed observational drawings, minibeast tracing and building…

Inside our card we have a little…

We have took part in lots of activities today to celebrate world book day. We sequenced the story, made caterpillar hats, had buddy reading with year 3 and ended out day with hot chocolate and biscuits and a lovely story. 
We had so much fun sharing our teddies, blankets and favourite books.…
