It was very exciting to welcome everyone back this week and play together in the sunshine!

We revised the sounds sh, ch and th at the beginning and end of words. The children found many words throughout the week and also spotted them in their reading books.

We wrote stories about a little bike. Our writing pieces are getting longer and more descriptive as we plan and think about structuring sentences.

In maths we looked at the 20p and 50p coins and how to use the fewest number of coins to make any amount. We looked at 10s and units in two digit numbers and at how grouping in tens makes collections easier to count.

We enjoyed a Skipper assembly and thought about how change is important in life and, if something is difficult today it may be good tomorrow. We watched how the seasons change and this keeps the world turning. Over the next few weeks we will learn strategies for coping with changes.

In art we used sponges to paint a sky background then used templates to cut out birds to make birds in cherry trees pictures.
