Hi Everyone

It was great to have everyone back this week. I hope you all had a lovely Eid with your families last week. I really enjoyed hearing all about what you were doing. We spent Monday morning discussing this and talking about what your favourite part of Eid was. We had some really lovely answers, from playing cricket with dad to making chocolate strawberries and spending time with family.

We have continued our growing and living topic this week. We have been learning all about the life cycle of a duck. It has been so much fun learning about this with real ducks. We got to see the eggs in the incubator, watch them hatch and then grow bigger each day. We even got to take them for a swim, it was so much fun and no one could believe how fast they were.

We have used the inspiration of the ducks in our writing this week and have been describing each stage of the life cycle of a duck. We have also been learning about capital letters and matching them to their lower case letter. We are still focusing on using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces when writing.

In maths, we have been learning about counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and practicing our adding to 10 and 20 skills. We have been looking for the patterns in the numbers to help us remember when skip counting. You can practice this at home with us as  well. We have just started to learn about measuring length and we will work more on this next week in class.

In P.E, we have been practicing athletics and sports day activities. We have had a go at Javelin, hurdles, throwing at a target and different types of races.

Here are some other photos from the rest of our week, including our duck artwork that we made today!

Have a great weekend everyone! See you Monday 🙂
