In phonics we have been learning all about different sounds that we hear inside and outside. We discussed these and listened to different audios carefully, identifying what was making the different sounds. Later in the week we went on a walk around our school grounds to identify different sounds…

Today we have practised continuous line drawings of shells! We found it quite tricky to keep the pencil on the paper and not take it off until the drawing is complete. However we were determined to create some beautiful art! Look what we have done.
