Half Term!

This week we have been doing lots of learning!
In literacy we have been thinking of our own ways to start stories and sequencing the story of 'Mr Gumpy's Outing'.

In Maths we have been learning about subtraction and how the numbers become smaller when we take away.

We have aslo looked at irons and how they worked and how they used to look before electricity. The children were asked to differentitate between past and present.

Here are some photographs from this week.

In the first week back after half term we have our class assembly. We will be doing a lot of practice for our assembly.

Can the children please bring in one cap each as we will be using them in our assembly.

Does anyone have any small plastic bottles with lids that we can use in our Role Play?

Next half term there are lots of fun and exciting things happening. We have Green Day, Sports Day, Cultural Week and our School trip.

We hope you have an enjoyable and fun half term!

We have had great fun this week learning the story of "Mr Gumpy's Outing". The children have taken on the role of the different characters and acted out the story.

In maths we have experimented with scales and compared the weight of different objects using the key words, 'heavy' and 'light'.

In creative we have learnt how to change the shade of a colour by mixing in small amounts of white paint.

This week we are going to be carrying on our learning using the story of Mr Gumpy. We are going to think of our own ways to start a story (including a setting and a character) and sequence the story too.

In Maths this week we are going to be learning the main concept of subtraction and having a go at some practical subtraction sums.

We are also going to try to differentiate between past and present and find out clothes used to be ironed and put them on a timeline.

We hope you have a good weekend!

Water

Last week we had lots of fun exploring water.

We learnt how clothes used to be washed; using a washboard to scrub the clothes, how the dolly and poser washed the clothes in the water and how a mangle was used to dry the clothes. The children have had great fun using the artefacts and washing some clothes themselves.

In Literacy we wrote instructions on how to use the artefacts.

We have also conducted a floating and sinking investigation and found out which objects float and sink.

This week we are using the story 'Mr Gumpy's Outing' by John Burningham. We are going to sequence the story and write a character profile on our choosen character.

We are also going to use our investigating skills and find out how many marbles it will take to sink a paper boat.

In creative we are thinking about colour mixing to change the shade of one specific colour by adding a little bit of white paint.

Don't forget to order your photographs.

Sorry due to a problem with blog this week we are unable to load any photos.
