Welcome back to our blog after our 2 week Easter break. We are all very pleased to be back at Longhaugh Primary School and are looking forward to our last term.
We had a quick revision of all our sounds to refresh our memory as 2 weeks is quite a long time not to be at school!
We talked about all the things we had done in our holidays and we wrote a sentence about one thing that we enjoyed doing.
In our number work this week our teachers introduced us to Carroll diagrams. This is a simple way of sorting things into groups and looking at what is the same and not the same.
We have started a new topic this term and we had to predict what we thought it might be. We looked at pictures and some objects and had to ask ourselves some questions. Had we seen the objects before? Did we know what the objects were? What did we think we would be learning? We made a mind map to help us.
We decided that we were going to be learning about Jack and the Beanstalk and we looked at several different Jack and the Beanstalk story books. We had to choose which of the books was our favourite and we did this by standing in or just beside the hoop where our favourite book was placed. We then made bar graphs displaying our favourite books.
We are decorating our outside area with a beanstalk and of course a beanstalk needs lots and lots of leaves. We sponge painted, tore up and stuck tissue paper and marbled our leaves. It is looking very nice and we are looking forward to starting the learning activites in this area. Even more exciting is that the beanstalk goes right into Mrs Lynch’s room and there are even more Jack and the Beanstalk learning activities in there! This is going to be a very good term!
