The children had a fabulous Red Nose Day on Friday and enjoyed the activities. Miss Miller tested the children on spelling their common words and Miss Brennan and Miss Vermeulen worked together to teach the children how to make Red Nose Day bookmarks.
This week the children have been keen to spell out their common words so that they can improve on their previous score to move their arrow on our class target board. In Maths they have been working on doubles and have played domino and playing card games to help them to remember their doubles facts. They have also been exploring the similarities and differences between adult and baby animals and talked about how we can tell which family a baby animal is from. Some of the baby animals were quite tricky to identify but children made links to books they had looked at in our class library and used this to identify the adult animal. The children were also very keen to talk about who they thought they looked most like in their family and why. In Literacy this week the children wrote acrostic poems about Spring. They discussed what an acrostic poem is and gave lots of ideas for words associated with Spring for use in their poems. 
What a good roundup of your learning week P2. Keep up the work on those learning words and improve on your own score from last week.
