This week...

This week we learned about adjectives, verbs and characters from books. Our author of the week was Julia Donaldson. Some of her books are: The Gruffalo, Zog, Room on the broom, The Stick Man ...just to name a few. We've also learned to use expression in our voice while thinking of poor Stick Man. Can you hear the despair in Stick Man's voice?

We have also shown all of our work at Friday's assembly.  Here we are:

Maths this week...

Here are some of our youngest students. They are learning to add and subtract using their animal bus. This bus fits exactly 10 creatures. They can do this quickly and correctly. They can also read the problem!!

This week...

This week we have been exploring stories by Julia Donaldson. We learned to describe characters by drawing and by using adjectives. We had fun with the Gruffalo, his child, and Stick Man.  We were all very relieved that Stick Man made his way back to Stick Lady and the family tree. Here is some of our work... (It makes my heart sing :) )

...making Stick Man!

...draw Stick Man and draw 3 things that happened in the story!

Magic Caterpillar C...

We have reminded  ourselves of all the letters that magic c can make!
Look at our work!

Maths time today...

We have been learning about making 5 and making 10. Children in Room 1 are learning them often, so they have instant recall.

Here is one team working with teddy bears in their little houses - making 5!

 ...hmm, it certainly went beyond 5!

The other team has been learning about making 10. Today they learned to play a card game: Go fish.
Each player gets 5 cards and has to ask another player for a card to complete their 10. If that player hasn't got the requested card they get told to "Go Fish!"  They then have to pick up another card and the other player continues the game.  It was lots of fun and competition!

Winter...

We thought a lot about winter this week! We wrote about hibernating animals. We looked at the letter 'w' and its blends. We created some wintery art scenes. Here are some of them!

The week so far...

What a busy week!
Ryker came for his second visit. Can you see him having a 'brain break' with his friends?

 We have also been learning about writing facts. We have been learning about animals in winter. We looked at hedgehogs and polar bears. We discovered that they hibernate in winter!
