Story World Words, Blending, Bar Charts and so much more! 🌟

This week we have had a big push on being able to read and write our Story World words! Although they are tricky, with constant practise we will be able to read and write them correctly.

We have been practising to use our story world words in sentences too. We are remembering to use a capital letter, finger spaces and full stops!

We have been practising to sequence a sentence too! However, we have to read the sentence to make sure it makes sense!

We were working as a team to sort the pictures to the correct word!

We went on an alphabet hunt too and tried to find an object to match all the sounds!

In Maths, we have been learning about Number Bonds. Number bonds is where we recall number facts for a number. For example the number bonds for 5 are 0+5, 5+0, 4+1 etc…

We have been using cubes and numicon to show different ways to make a number bond!

Investigating objects across the classroom is so much fun! We were exploring different items and determined which object was heavier, lighter or equal in weight!

We have been revisiting bar charts and pictograms! We were asking our friends what their favourite colour was.

We also made a bar chart for our favourite colours and favourite flavours of ice cream!

After, we discussed which options were most popular, least popular or equal! We remember a bar chart to look like bars of chocolate!

We also analysed information from using tally marks!

In class, we have been learning how to skip count in 2’s – 0,2,4,6,8…!

We made a building, however, you will notice we used stones which count up in 2’s too! This was a number machine on our building!

We love using play dough in class to be creative! We use play dough to form letters, numbers or make pictures and stories. It is super for our fine motor skills!

We created a display of instructions and pictures to enable us to make play dough by ourselves without Miss Amin!

Everyday this week, we have enjoyed making play dough as a team!

Sticking with our topic of cars, we made a new and trickier target board!

We have also learnt about collage within Art and used this technique to make traffic lights!

Whilst Outdoors, we turned this pole into a puppet pole! We wrapped him up because he was cold, and made stories around him! We are yet to name him!

‘The cold never bothered us anyways’! Fun fun fun as we try and aim ourselves with the water!

Sticking with water, we noticed the windows were dirty so began to clean them! This helped our gross motor skills as we were holding heavy buckets of water!

WOW! Our blog is jam packed full of lots of learning this week! I am sure your Parents and Carers will be so proud of you!

Have a wonderful weekend boys and girls!xxx
