This week Ogilvie Bear visited Australia. We were very interested in the different seasons and that at Christmas time it is very hot. We did a google search and liked seeing the photos of Santa surfing. We also learned about different animals that are found in Australia, did you know that Koalas sleep for 18 hours a day? We did a seesaw task to label the parts of a Koala and made the flag of Australia.

In maths, we have been using the Numicon to show the numbers before and after. We also made teen numbers and we knew that each time we needed the ten piece. As part of our work on subitising we watched a video where the finger patterns and dot patterns appeared and we had to shout out the number. We were very quick!

This week we have been learning all about the letter ‘a’. We know how to write it correctly and we were able to use ‘a’ to make some words using the magnetic boards. We learned all about the Vowel House and we were very good at remembering what sound each character made.

We had an assembly on Friday where we learned about Mary.

Well done to Maja who is our Hot Chocolate winner this week.
