In Literacy we have been learning to use finger spaces between words and we also learned about full stops. We have covered new sounds h and w. We started working on our reading passports with the help of out P6/7 partners and have written the first entry about a book we have read together.

In Numeracy we have been working on one more/one less and more/fewer. We had lots of discussion when comparing the sizes of our families. In mathematics we have been learning about weight, working on using the language  light/heavy and lighter than/heavier than. We had fun comparing the weights of shopping items and Christmas parcels.

In Technology we have designed and made a toy that can be pushed and pulled. We have been practising the songs for our Christmas concert, and we enjoyed working with P6/7 to make some artwork. In PE we have worked on some simple social dancing.

Our Happy Birthday roleplay area has been a great success with the children finding lots of opportunities to write invitations, cards and messages. Thank you for sending in so many birthday items for us to use, this has really enhanced the area and added to the children’s enjoyment. We are hoping to have a Vet’s corner next term, so if you have any soft toy animals or other props we could use we could use we would be very grateful.
