Welcome to our weekly update. This week we have continued to welcome signs of spring. We drew and painted blossom trees using the bottom of a plastic bottle to give the effect of blossoms.
We also looked at the life cycle of bees and found out lots of interesting facts about their hives and the Queen Bee.
We have now finished our “Hello Spring” display. As you can see we have created lifecycles for frogs, butterflies and bees. We are very proud of it!
Writing – Information Reports 
The Spring theme continued into our weekly writing. The children were asked to write a report containing information about frogs. What they look like, where they live and what they can do. We had a fantastic discussion and found out lots of interesting facts e.g. frogs are nocturnal, they can camouflage themselves and some are poisonous. Some examples below-
Numeracy
When the children come in class in the morning they now complete a daily number challenge. This challenge takes place as we are ordering lunches and completing the register. It is a super way to get motivated for the day and the children are keen to challenge themselves to complete as many questions as they can.
This week we have began looking at subtraction and are exploring the concept in an active way.
I hope you have a lovely weekend, keep safe and I will post more updates next week.
