Hello everybody! Welcome back, I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter break 🙂
This half term our topic is ‘How does your garden grow?’. Over the course of the half term, we will be learning about plants and minibeasts, looking closely at habitats and life cycles.
This week the children have been exposed to new vocabulary and have enjoyed exploring our new topic books. They have already learnt the names of some more unfamiliar minibeasts such as earwigs, beetles, crane flies and grasshoppers.
The children have enjoyed minibeast hunts in the garden and in the forest area where they were able to show care and concern for living creatures and practise their sorting and classifying skills.
In maths, we have revisited subitising. The children have absolutely blown me away with their ability to subitise objects to 3 and use their mathematical reasoning skills to recognise larger quantities by explaining “That’s 6. I can see 3 and 3”.
