This has been very busy and exciting! The children have really enjoyed celebrating World Book Week and loved dressing up as their favourite characters on Thursday. We read the story ‘The wall in the middle of the book’ and the children enjoyed using their imagination to think about what might happen next in the story.

This week our story focus has been Oliver’s Fruit Salad. The children have used their phonic knowledge to write short sentences to describe the characters from the story.

In maths the children have been ordering amounts and writing the numerals to match the amounts. They have been using language such as more than and fewer than to explain their understanding of where the amounts need to be placed.

In forest school this week we read the story ‘Stanley’s Stick’ and the children used their imagination to turn their stick into something else e.g. a walking stick, a fishing rod, a telescope, a hammer or a screw driver.

This week in Class 1 we have been reading Little Red Riding Hood. We have been retelling the story, using language from the story too. The children also worked very hard to make their character stick puppets.

In maths we have been working hard to make 6 and 7. Using double die frames to show 5 and 1 more to make 6 and 5 and 2 more to make 7. The children also explained their understanding using sentences like ‘5 and 1 make 6’ and ‘5 and 2 make 7’.

We also enjoy numbers day with lots of number related activities and songs.
