Welcome back to a romantic blog this week in celebration of Valentine’s Day! We have been making cards for the person we love, talking about the things and the people we love and also talking about our emotions and how they make us feel.

We have been revising all our sounds again this week and using our sounds to make words and write short, simple sentences. We have also been writing about the things that we love. Our sentences started, I love……

              

We have continued to work on our addition this week. We used our ladybird addition box to help us and we were also working on the tricky missing number sums.

              

In our topic we were looking at homes from the past and comparing the differences to homes that are built now. We looked at the different types of materials used and the way house styles have changed through the years.

We also looked at past and present household items. We looked at old washing machines, irons, cookers and toilets. We didn’t fancy using some of these things, especially the toilet that didn’t have a flush!!!

              

In health this week we have been talking about our emotions. We gave them their proper names and talked about the differences between them. We also shared stories of  times where we might have felt these emotions, e.g., sadness, anger, happiness, fear, and how our bodies and faces might have looked or reacted when we felt these emotions.

  

This week we made our Valentine’s card to take home to the person we love the most. Some of us made cards for our mummy, our daddy, our granny or our sister.

It was quite a tricky job. We worked with a partner and our partner helped to draw around our hands. We then had to carefully cut them out. We then cut out 2 love hearts and stuck them onto our hands. Then came the really tricky part! We had two long strips of paper and we had to carefully and slowly fold them over each other so that they looked a bit like a concertina. We then wrote a message on each of the love hearts. On the first we wrote,’ I love you’. On the second we wrote, ‘this much!.’ we then glued the folded paper onto the hands.
