Happy New Year to you all!
We have been working very hard since coming back to school after the Christmas holidays.
This week, we learned two new sounds, ‘y’ and ‘z’. We were able to make CVC words containing these sounds and we even managed to make the word ‘zebra’ on our magnetic boards! Miss Harrison was very impressed! We are also getting really good at writing sentences and we can use finger spaces and full stops. When we were reading, we were trying to look for our common words in our books.
In numeracy, we have been learning about numbers to 20 and 3D shapes. We can count from zero to twenty and twenty to zero and can find numbers after. On Thursday, we started to look at 3D shapes. Miss Harrison brought in a big bag of everyday objects and we sorted them into groups. The shapes we were learning about were cylinders, spheres, cones, cuboids and cubes. Here are some photos of us enjoying our 3D shape learning activities:
On Tuesday, we had a visit from the RSPB. Laura and Sarah were very impressed with our general knowledge! We went outside to discover wildlife in our school grounds. In groups, we went into our outdoor classroom and looked for different wildlife or evidence that certain animals or insects had been in our playground.
Continuing our outdoor learning theme, we also looked at signs of winter. Miss Harrison wanted to take down our Fairyland castle and put up a winter display but we came up with the idea of changing our Fairyland castle into a Winter castle (Miss Harrison agreed that this was an excellent idea)! We worked in pairs to make icicles and snowflakes and we are currently working on a snowman. On Friday, we made fantastic snowflake pictures using oil pastels and paint. Our classroom display is looking amazing!
Thank you very much for reading our blog post.
