On Monday we linked our writing with our Health and Wellbeing topic, Food and Health. We shared with each other what our favourite food is and what we like about it so much. We then put this information into a sentence or two. We are becoming more independent when writing and use sound mats and common word mats to support us plus our own phonological knowledge.

We have continued exploring money and this week we had to match the coin to the amount. We did this in a fun way by building a tower with the cups. The cups had the amount written on them and we had to match that to the picture of the tower with the coins. We enjoyed the challenge!

We don’t use money very often now, so we also discussed different ways to pay for items in a shop and what we see our grown ups use.

We have started a block of learning about painting. The focus is colour mixing and developing the knowledge of the colour wheel to support us with this. This week we mixed blue and yellow to make green and painted our own picture of blue, yellow and green balloons.
