For Chinese New Year we created our own Ming vases using blue pastels and looked at designs on photographs of Ming vases for inspiration. We then painted our backgrounds for the vases in ink and they have made a beautiful wall display for the classroom!

Look at how engaged we were at ERIC time (Everyone Reads In Class) today!

We also had a lovely assembly about Valentines Day by the nursery and then after Golden time talked about how impressed Mrs Cooper was with everyone including each other in their play and sharing their toys. The children reflected on a time they felt included and how it made them feel.

Have a lovely long weekend everyone!

In February P2 have been learning about tens.

We counted in 10’s and recognised the pattern is similar to counting in 1’s except the number has a zero on the end.

We used a wide variety of concrete materials ( lollipop sticks, counters, Diennes materials, cubes and multilink) to make bundles ( groups) of ten to help us count in tens.

We have been practicing adding on 1 more and 10 more or finding 1 less and 10 less from a number.

On the computer we used the Topmarks website to play place value basketball – you can play it at home too. Here is the link.
