Hello and welcome back to our blog!

last week we were writing lists. Lists of ingredients etc. This week we have been writing instructions. We wrote how to make a sandwich. We wrote what we needed to make the sandwich, e.g., bread, butter, ham etc, and put all the steps in the correct order.

We also made Easter cakes using chocolate and rice crispies. We had pictures of all the things we needed to make the cakes and we put them in the correct order. Then we wrote a list of instructions on how to make the cakes.

We had great fun making our Easter cakes, but we really enjoyed eating them!!

We continued to learn about measure this week. We are still using non-standard units so we can get used to measuring properly. We need to remember to always start at the edge and not leave any gaps.

  

This week though we also went outside and built  snowmen and measured how tall our snowmen were!

Even though we haven’t seen much of the signs of spring this week we are continuing to look and we are ever hopeful that it will be getting warmer soon. So, hoping that spring is just around the corner,we planted sunflower seeds. We put soil into a pot and made a little hole in the middle of the soil with our finger. We popped the seed in the hole and covered it with more soil to keep the seed warm and dark. We watered it a little, not too much and put our pots on the window sill. We hope to see little shoots soon!

  

As we said earlier we made Easter cakes. We melted the chocolate and we poured rice crispies into a bowl. We all took a turn of stirring the crispie/chocolatey mixture. We then used a spoon to put some of the mixture into cake cases. Then finally we put two little eggs onto the cakes. They were extremely yummy! 

  

              

We have continued to learn more about the Easter story. Our teachers gave us some pictures and we had think hard about the story of Jesus beginning with him riding on a donkey into Jerusalem and the sequence of events that followed ending with him being nailed to a cross. We worked together and put all the pictures in the correct order.
