Another week has flown!

This week we’ve continued with our double phonics, learning oi as in oil, coin, foil and coil.  We’ve also made a great start with our independent writing, looking at building descriptive sentences from a labelled picture of the Stickman.

In numeracy we’re continuing to focus on numbers to 20, for some revisiting formation as well as well as some addition and subtraction. We’ve been taking our learning outside, today going on a number hunt!

Also for our Stickman topic, we’ve been looking at the landscape in the book and using lots of different materials to create our own landscape scene. We also looked at the view from outside the classroom and talked about how the colours and detail fade the further away they are. We then painted our background, gradually going from dark to light, and drew and cut out trees – one that is here, one that is near and one that is far – and added leaves and branches with oil pastels. The next plan is to add stick frames.

In other news, in our bread experiment we are excited to see mould growing on the bread we touched with our dirty hands! We’ll continue to watch and share more next week. We’ve also had a robin visiting the table outside the classroom, and on Wednesday he decided to come into the classroom while the children were at lunch!
