This week our focus sounds were J and V. We practised recognising, saying and forming the letters. We consolidated our learning by building jets, jungles, doing jigsaws and crafting jellyfish! We also created lovely artwork of flowers in vases and used vegetables to do some printing! We also had lots of practise reading and writing words with our sound in them, as well as playing games with our common words.

In numeracy, we have started to learn about sharing. We introduced our new concept using a lovely story called ‘The Doorbell Rang’. We listened to the story and took on roles to act it out. We got to share out some delicious cookies between our characters but just when we had managed to share them out fairly…uh oh! The doorbell rang and in came some new guests! We managed to share them out again but just as we did… the doorbell rang, AGAIN!

We had so much fun taking part in this activity and enjoyed combining literacy, numeracy and drama skills! We were also able to use our learning to work together and ensure that the Gingerbread Men had a ‘fair share’ of buttons.

We have also started to learn about time. This week we had a focus on the days of the week.

 

This week we took part in a push experiment in science and also watched a perfomance of ‘Oliver Twist’ in the hall. What a fun week!
