We have used cubes to practically order them from smallest to greatest or greatest to smallest. We have also wrote the numbers underneath the concrete representations. 

We have read and roleplayed the story Peace at Last by Jill Murphy to help us to understand the events and structure.

We have learnt the differences between the animal groups including the physical features that will be different. The children then completed a sorting task to group the images into the correct animal type. They learnt about mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians.

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 computing we have used our IPads to change the font, size of the writing and colour. We experimented how this changes how our presentation looks. 

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 created continuous line drawings of shells. We have tried so hard to keep our pen on the page to draw a full shell. It takes patience and concentration!

With Bee Active, we are focusing on balance and the importance of space. We know to find space we need to look with our heads up, scan the area and that we may need to change our direction. We practised balancing in lots of different fun games!

Today in Geography we have compared Keswick and Stoke-on-Trent. We have looked at the physical and human features, ability to travel and the population.
