We have been doing lots of adding up this week. It was a little bit tricky at first but we have had lots of fun and can now add up to the story of 3. We used the ladybird and dalmatian maths boxes to help us.

This week we began using our models of the Gruffalo characters to make a film. We worked in groups setting up our film sets, camera and tripod and next we will be recording the story using our voices.

We have used Pivot again this week and were able to add another Pivot character and make them dance. It was so funny watching each others sequences. We have also been using Hector’s world to help us learn how to stay safe when we are using computers.

We have used the Gruffalo story to help us learn all about rhyming words. Some of the rhyming words we found are mouse and house, wood and good, said and sped, claws and jaws, toes and nose and see and me.

We have had a Children in Need day at school to raise lots of money. This year the theme was Show Your Spots, Lets Raise Lots! We came to school wearing spotty clothes and had fun playing spotty bingo and the tuck shop had a yellow spotty theme.
