When we came back after the summer holidays we  enjoyed seeing our friends and we made our own postcards with a recount of our summer.  We have started reading The Magic Carpet Slippers by Dick King-Smith.  We have read the first five chapters and we are really enjoying the story so far.  We made our own book marks this week and even got them laminated.  These will help us to keep our place when reading. In Maths we have been focusing on place value and addition.  We are learning lots of different strategies.

Our topic for this term is The Rainforest.  We have chatted about that we already know about the Rainforest and planned everything that we would like to learn in the next few weeks.  We are excited about learning about all the different animals that live in the Rainforest!We have also been learning about the life cycle of plants and talking about how they grow.

We enjoyed using chalk pastels last week during our Art lesson.  We explored blending various colours of pastels to colour the petals on the flowers that we drew.

In P.E. we have been focusing on ball skills and we have enjoyed playing some different games.  We really liked playing dodgeball!
