We have all had a great first week back at school with a focus on revising our sounds, common words, days of the week and number knowledge.

We got our vets surgery up and running in our role play area and researched the life of a vet to enhance our play experiences. We carried out a class vote once we had learnt what a vert does and it was great to see so many children interested in working with animals when they are older.

We looked at ways to stay healthy and eat a balanced diet. All of the children are trying to drink lots more water throughout the course of the day, exercise when out playing and trying to include a healthy snack in their day.

We learnt about estimation and how we can check our answers by counting. We started in the class and took our learning outdoors to estimate how many steps it would take to reach the next landmark. The children worked well together to communicate sensible estimates and then check if they were close with their guess.

As the weather has been so cold we were unable to go out to the MUGA for our PE session this week but we made sure we kept moving with some fun active workouts in the classroom.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. See you all on Monday.
