This week we have been learning the ‘ch’ digraph. We have been building, reading and writing ‘ch’ words, creating spring chicks, chopping playdough chocolates,  building churches and making trains go ‘chop choo’.

We have also been making totals using money this week.

We had great fun investigating our senses with a fruit tasting session. And then we voted on our favourite and I was very surprised that lemon won. I loved seeing all the sour faces!

Miller also brought in his rugby medal to show the class. We were very proud of your achievement Miller. Well done!

This week we are focusing on counting to 20 and sharing in equal or unequal groups. Please complete and return by Friday 28th March.

We had great fun swinging on the ropes this week!  Look how high Reuben climbed!

We were also practising our balance, making sure we held our finish after completing the movement…just like proper gymnasts!

This week we have been learning the ‘th’ digraph.  We practised how to write it neatly, made Thank You cards, painted thick and thin lines, wrote ‘th’ on teeth and used a toothbrush to clean it and built puppet theatres to perform  puppet shows.

In numeracy, we have continued learning about money.  We have been investigating the value of the coins and have started exploring making amounts.

We were so proud of Jessica and Charlie this week as they represented our class when presenting during the Power Down Assembly.  Well done!

In science, we continued learning about Our Senses.  We discussed Taste this week and made a giant tongue for our wall.  We talked all about different tastes and are very excited for our fruit taste test next week.

And we also had a fantastic afternoon at the ECC for our Teddy Bears Picnic.

Just to remind everyone to please bring a teddy tomorrow (Tuesday 18th March) We are planning on visiting the ECC to take part in a Teddy Bears Picnic as part of the transition events. Thanks!

This week in gymnastics we were working on travelling along the bench, through the hoops and down the slope.

This week’s homework is all about Time. Please complete and return by Friday 21st March. You can use extra pages to complete the drawings or back of sheet (if not in jotter)

This week we have been learning the ‘sh’ sound.  We wrote and read ‘sh’ words, wrote sentences, hushed babies, played with sharks, made shape pictures and built shops.

In maths we have started learning about money.  We have focused this week on recognising coins to £2 and ordering them.  We played lots of fun games.

We have started investigating our senses.  We talked about the different parts of the eye and made a big eye for our wall.  We then labelled it.  We also played listening games and had to think about different noises we can hear.

We also walked to the river this week.  What a beautiful day!

We continued with our gymnastics this week and got out some more of the equipment.  This week we were focusing on travelling – along the bench and mat and up and over the frame.

Pancake Day

On Tuesday we celebrated Pancake Day.  We had to carefully read the recipe and  measure and weigh the ingredients.  We then had to spread our pancakes after they were cooked.  But our favourite part was definitely tasting them!!

World Book Day

We also celebrated World Book Day on Thursday.  We had a wonderful day sharing and reading our favourite books.  The buddies came to our class in the morning and we took part in a Story Book Quiz.  They then helped us read our stories and played some book related games with us.

We have also been busy this week learning about Doubles and trying to commit them to memory.

We have also started dictation, listening to sentences and writing them on a whiteboard.  We tried to remember capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

Miller also brought in some shark’s teeth to let us investigate. We loved looking at them! Thank you Miller!
