This week we have been learning about using our skills and talents to help others. This is us doing God’s work on earth. We made a beautiful tree with our hand prints to show how we can use our hands to do God’s work.  

Here are some of the book covers we designed at home for part of our January homework challenge. We talked about the books we have read and some people in our class would like to read them too.

At literacy time, we are learning to write a dictated sentence and to use our new phonemes. We are getting quite confident with this.

At paired reading time, we took part in the reading challenge with our buddies. We can look at our reading challenge sheet and try to find a particular book, like a book with a one word title or a book about space.  

For science day this week, we looked at different materials and what they would be used for. We worked in a team to create a shelter that was warm, dry and safe. We used a variety of materials. Also we had to design a raft that would sail in our water tray. It had to be waterproof! We worked with a partner and made some interesting boats.

In ICT, we are learning to use WORD to type and change a sentence. In maths, we are learning to take away 2. This means 2 less. We can jump back on a number trakc to take away 2.
