On Monday, we brought in the cups of water we had left outside and they had frozen. We loved touching the ice and we put it in the water tray so we could play with it. We were very good at using the words solid and liquid.

This week we have been continuing our work on subtraction. We are able to say different words for take away and we have shown confidence in using different strategies to solve the sums. We got special workbooks to show our learning and we used the ten pin bowling to learn to subtract from 10.

In Literacy, we have been learning the z and w sounds. We also started our Reading Books and Miss Stebbing was very impressed by how well we listened and tried to read the sentences. We wrote a sentence about what people were doing in a Winter Scene and we were able to check our work with the Writing Targets.

In RE, we learned about the Bible being a special book and we learned to be respectful of it. We remembered to bow our heads before we picked up the Bible from our altar.

As part of our Topic work, we read the story ‘Hamish McHaggis and The Clan Gathering’. We learned about what a Clan is and we made our own tartan. We put all the tartan designs together to make our own Clan Banner.

 

Some of our personal highlights this week are:

Leah – I liked playing in the vets.

Posy – I like doing the take away sums.

Rudhvick – I liked playing with the ten pin bowling.

Maksymilian – I liked playing in the area at the block play.

Vikashini – I liked drawing.

Dawid – I liked tidying up.

Miss Stebbing – I was very proud of everyone when they were using their strategies to complete the subtraction calculations.

 

Well done to Rudhvick who is our Hot Chocolate Winner this week.
