Our week:

Unfortunatley we didn't have time to get to the school library today! Those that have returned their books will be able to go on Monday, please use home books for Reading Routes in the meantime :)

Reminder that phonics books are changed on a Monday and Thursday, please make sure they are handed in on these days!

Maths:

This week we continued focusing on addition, using part-whole models to support adding two numbers within 10. We have also spent time cementing our knowledge of number bonds to 10, our aim is to recall these as fast as possible! This is the rhyme to help us (there are matching moves too!):

10 and 0, superhero!

9 and 1, having fun!

8 and 2, yelling BOO!

7 and 3, busy bee!

6 and 4, shut the door!

5 and 5, jump and jive!

English:

We edited our previous work and wrote our next sentence - 'I saw a big fish in the deep sea.'

Big Picture – Music:

We learnt a short verse of a song and came up with actions to help us remember the words, we then learnt the recorder notes to accompany this. The children then performed their recorders in small groups while the rest of the class sang. We loved the recorders so much that listening while they were out was a bit tricky... unfortunately because of this we weren't able to perform to another class, but enjoyed listening to each other.

Science:

This week the children had the fantastic opportunity to make conker soap! They smashed and weighed conkers, which were then boiled to make a soap - it has now cooled for us to look and and use next week!

We also started our new topic looking at materials. Today we explored words to describe wood, plastic, metal, fabric, glass, rubber, rock and paper.

RE:

In RE, we explored how Christians try to copy Jesus to show God's love. We looked at things like helping others, sharing and being kind.

PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we went back over our school rules, as well as our classroom expectations. We have had a few issues with unkind words and unkind hands so recapped on how we should treat others.

PE days:
