Every day we are now doing Guided Reading. During this lesson there are 5 different activities and during the week every group does every activity. At the moment our activities are: Guided reading with Miss Williams, guided reading with Miss Parton, a story on the listening station, using the role-play area and sharing books in the book corner. We are getting so much better at reading!
Today we made fruit kebabs as part of our Design and Technology work. We had to learn how to cut safely by using a fork, the claw or the bridge. We practised all of these different ways of cutting to make our fruit kebabs. Nathaniel said ‘the fruit was so tasty and juicy’ and as you can see from the photos we all enjoyed them!
This afternoon we continued our Science topic about growing plants. We have learnt what plants need to grow. We went on a plant hunt around our school and discovered we have lots of wonderful plants growing so well around us. We drew them carefully and worked well in pairs.
This week we have started learning about instructions. We learnt some instructions using Talk for Writing. This is where the children learn to retell a text from pictures and by using actions to help them remember. We will then use this later in the week to help us to write.
This week in Literacy we have been focusing on poems. We have practised writing rhyming words and today we wrote a poem of our own! These poems are all about foods we like. We hope you enjoy them.
In PE we have been practising balancing. Some of us did one point balances and then we practised three point balances. We tried hard to keep our arms and legs straight and pointed like real gymnasts! We have started to learn about rolling. This week we practised the pencil roll.
This morning we have been learning how to use squared paper for our Maths work. This is to help us when our new books arrive. We are very excited about them! We also practised subtracting using a number line. Jake and Katie worked extra hard!
