This week we have been learning to use the Rekenreks to help us find the missing numbers in sums.  We have been practising sums like 2 + ? = 10.  We also used the Numicon to help us make numbers. We have been learning to count in 2s and in 5s.  We listened to some songs to help us.

In Health and Wellbeing we made a baby’s bottle.  We put in 120ml of water and 4 scoops of powder.  We flattened the powder with the back of a knife.

During Topic we made information sheets about an insect.

Our new sounds this week were ‘ai’ and ‘oa’.  We learned to write words with these sounds.  The staff were very impressed with our handwriting and we even got a sticker.

We need to practise being good listeners so we are going to try hard to follow the good listening rules.  Ask us what these rules are.

Here are some of our personal highlights from this week.

Pola – I enjoyed doing Spanish and I enjoyed doing our finger spaces and full stops because we were doing the ‘ai’ and ‘oa’.

John – I liked playing with Nathan in the playground.  We were playing Spiderman.

Chijiakwu – I was trying hard to listen well this week.

Ben – I enjoyed doing the fact families game.

Ruari – I enjoyed playing with Nathan and Ben and Aiden and Ollie outside at break.

Zosia – I enjoyed doing our information books about insects.  I learned about dragonflies.
