This week we have been enjoying sharing our holiday stories and we talked a lot about some of the new toys we got. We decided it would good to learn more about toys and are going to make it our next topic.
We started with a 3D mind map to look at what we already know and have come up with some great questions to help us learn more, such as ………
“How are toys made?” Harris
“What are toys made of?” Darcy
“What type of toys are there.” Tia
“How do toys move?” Steven
“Wind-up toys are from the olden days, what other old toys are there?” Joshua
We are looking forward to sharing the answers with you as our topic develops.
In maths we have been exploring number patterns, solving addition calculations, looking at number bonds, using mirrors and symmetry to draw the other half of a picture and exploring symmetry in nature whilst outdoors.
In literacy we have been writing sentences, we hear, carefully sounding out each word and creating some sentences of our own. Our increased knowledge of sounds, phonemes and common words is a great help. We have also been looking at rhyming patterns and using our reading books to find information in a text. We also wrote some fantastic stories about toys who were ill.
In the construction area a team of our finest archietects worked together to design and build a house!
In P.E we are developing our skills of object control and team work.
