Superworm is super strong! We have really enjoyed our story of the week and have been completing lots of activities around this story. On Monday we went on a Minibeast hunt in the woodland and the garden areas around the school. We didn’t find many butterflies or bees but we did manage to find worms, spiders, flies and woodlice.
On Tuesday we created our own superworm by collecting our own stick from outside and then decorating it and adding some googly eyes!
On Wednesday during gymnastics we focused on balancing and control. We completed handstands against the wall, forward and backward rolls, balancing across an obstacle and also a jump of our choice off the springboard. We also showed we could use the equipment safely by following some careful instructions.
During Literacy this week some of us have been focusing on our sounds by drawing something beginning with that sound. We have also been building our own words with a sound and then drawing a picture of that. In writing, we wrote about what we did at the weekend and followed our rules of writing by making sure we had a capital letter at the start of our sentence, a full stop at the end and a finger spaces between each of the words.
In Mathematics this week some of us have been creating our own bar graph based on the data from our workbook.
We have also been learning about capacity and created our own water xylophone. We could describe if each glass was full, nearly full, nearly empty or empty.
Some of us went outside to play a game to help us learn to add three numbers together. We each had three balls and had to put each of them into a different hoop. Each hoop was worth an amount and we then added up the three numbers to get our total.
Some of us created our own number line in the playground with chalk and then challenged each other by completing an addition calculation on the number line. We were also able to demonstrate our addition skills by jumping along a number line with a counter.
