Welcome back to our blog! We hope you enjoy viewing all of our learning experiences in the last two weeks!

Modern Languages

We have been learning how to greet one another in French and how to use simple phrases. We are continuing to practice how to ask how are you and learning how to respond to it.

Numeracy and Mathematics

We have started to explore Data Handling. We are learning how to sort information through different ways.

Addition 

We have been learning all about addition and attempting to complete addition sums mentally!

We know when we add zero, it doesn’t have an affect on our sum. We are amazing at writing and recording our own sums too!

Doubles…! Doubles are when you add two numbers together which are the same. We are amazing at recalling addition sums which are doubles.

We use beads to help us count faster! We know to count on from a number rather than starting at one.

We are continuing to practice subitizing as we want to be extremely fast at recognising an amount of different objects extremely fast without having to count.

Counting out numbers, finding the missing numbers and sequencing has become so easy!

Literacy

We are becoming extremely creative in our Writing! We spent time learning and reading the book called the Leaf Man. From this story, we sourced different things from outside such as leaves and acorns to create our own story.

We are ensuring to use finger spaces and to use our sounds to blend and sound out words.

In another writing activity, we read the book Aliens Love Underpants. This story was so amusing we wanted to write about it and create our own alien.

Now that we have nearly finished learning all of our single sounds, we have moved on to learning phonemes such as ‘oa’ and ‘ai’!

Also, we are becoming stronger in our skill to sound, spell and read small words!

ICT

We are becoming extremely skilled at using different softwares on a computer or laptop! We created a drawing of ourselves and wrote our name!

Outdoor Learning

We explored the story of the Leaf Man outdoors too! Using the story frames we used loose parts to recall the story.

Using leaves and sticks, we wanted to create different characters from the book to create puppets.

Harry is enjoying reading a book!

We came across apples and attempted to slice them. After being carefully shown how to cut an apple, we managed to do it independently and safely.

Ruairidh drew and designed a castle for the leaf man!

Leo and Retal were exploring how to balance on different objects.

Gymnastics

Recently, we have just started Gymnastics. We have been exploring different ways to create a balance. With a partner, we have also been creating amazing sequences!
