We have been reading ‘A Farmer’s Life for Me’ book and we have been discussing life on a farm. For writing we sequenced the pictures in the book and then write about each job they are doing in the picture. We were using our phonics knowledge to help us sound out words.
We have been learning about different parts of a plant. We made our own mini greenhouses and planted beans. We are waiting for the shoots to start sprouting now.
We took part in our first challenge of sports week this afternoon – The Trim Trail Challenge. We completed circuits of the trim trail which challenged some of us to tackle parts of it that we would usually avoid! We felt proud when we achieved success!
As part of mental health awareness week, we discussed different emotions and specifically emotions which make you feel bad like sadness, worry and anger.
We talked about and practised strategies to deal with these emotions including breathing techniques, talking to others and activities to make us feel better.
We also did some mindful colouring.
Following our work on doubling and then halving shapes, we have been learning about halving numbers. We used cubes to half amounts. We were good at it.
We have new P.E. equipment for the next few weeks. We were very excited to try it out. We got into groups of 4 and rotated round different stations to practise our motor skills. We found skipping very tricky and we are going to do lots of practise as we want to get better at it.
Today it was lovely outside and so we decided to do our writing for literacy outside. We talked about our easter holiday, drew a picture and wrote a sentence about our time off school. We had a nice time doing it outside.
We had our Cool Class Cup treat this afternoon. We watched a movie on the big screen and had 🍿 popcorn and 🥤 juice! We enjoyed rolling around on the mats while we watched the movie.
