This morning we were learning the story of Jonah and the Whale. This is the last Old Testament story that we will be learning about, next week we will be moving on to the New Testament.

This week our Bible focus was on the story of Moses. Adrienne pulled clues out of her mystery box and we had to guess what the story was going to be. Then we had the chance to watch a cartoon clip telling the story before working together to sequence the events of the story. Finally we had the chance to ask Adrienne lots of questions.

We are excited to find out what next weeks story will be!

Today we took the chance to take our learning of maths into the outdoors. We were making pictograms in the classroom using concrete materials when the children suggested using themselves to make a pictogram so outside we went……

Our pictogram showed which animal was our favourite, cats were the clear winner! Then we used the chalk to create our own pictograms in the playground.

Once we had finished we took the opportunity to draw some of the 2D shapes that we have been learning about.

We are looking forward to learning more of our maths in the outdoors over the next few weeks.

Today in maths we were developing our number sense and started with some subitizing activities. We then had the chance to make our own set of cards to use when working with a partner.

Next we did a walk the room activity focusing on place value, we had fun trying to find the cards.

Finally we had the opportunity to choose which activities we would like to complete. Some of us chose to make patterns using 2D shapes, others played games on the computer, there were people sorting numbers into odd and even piles and many, many more!

This morning as part of our language time, we chose different language activities, tasks and games to complete.  Some of us played language board games, others used the computer to play language games on Nessy.  The Garden Centre was open and some children bought and sold seeds and vegetables.
