Mathematics and Problem Solving

We are learning to use Problem Solving strategies such as act out the situation and look for a pattern to solve problems in maths.

We also went on a shape hunt looking for 2D shapes around our playground. We took photographs of what we found………………….

We are continuing to explore addition and subtraction looking at sorting calculations by their answer, solving word problems, playing games and using materials.

We have also been learning how to write numbers in words.

We have enjoyed learning about our dates of birth and looking at the order of the months of the year.

We have been using Carrol diagrams to sort and find information.

Science

In Science we have been learning about how to stay safe using electricity. We are able to differentiate between electrical and non-electrical items. We were also able to identify different dangers in pictures. We learned about battery power and how it allows us to use items without the need for wires.

ICT

We have been learning how to log onto a device in ICT with a username and password. We are beginning to open and close a word document. We have just started saving our work so we can open it later to edit it. We are aware that information on the internet is presented in different ways such as text, audio, images and video.

Literacy

In literacy we have been learning how to write a set of instructions for washing your hands. We looked at using words like first, next, and then to explain each step and made a list of what equipment we needed. In reading we are trying to read new words in a variety of different text. We have also been enjoying using our skills to write stories, sentences and words within our play and outdoors.

Music and Drama

In drama and music we have been exploring friendship through the story of The Rainbow Fish. We have also looked at what it means to be a good friend and how important it is to help each other.

World Book Day

We enjoyed taking part in a wide range of activities last week to celebrate world book day. It was great fun visiting P4 who read us stories and we made a super start to the whole school story by setting the scene and inventing two alien characters. We also had a visit from our mystery teacher Mrs Fry who read a story to us.

SSPCA

We took part in a workshop designed by the SSPCA and learned how to care for rabbits . We looked at how to hold rabbits correctly and learned about what they need to stay healthy and how important it is to care for animals correctly.

Here are some other pictures of us exploring and learning…………
