Prepositions
For our spelling and grammar lesson today the Puffins have been exploring and showing understanding for prepositions ready to put them into sentences.
Recording information / facts
The Puffins are hard at work searching a recording information ready to write their non-chronological reports in toys. The facts we have learnt so far have been great, we very excited to start the report writing now!
Essential and desirable
This afternoon the Puffins have had a great discussion on what is essential and what is desirable. First we established what these words meant and then we organised some pictures into a essential and desirable items. The poll at the end was very interesting.
Laptop – 4/25 children said was essential
Food 25/25 said was essential
Toys 13/25 said was desirable
Water 25/25 said it was essential
Home 25/25 said it was essential
Sweets 1/25 said they were essential
Education 23/25 said it is essential
2D and 3D shapes
This week in maths we have been concentrating on our 2D and 3D shapes also positional directions and ordinal numbers. We have had great for exploring how to group shapes and learning all the names and properties of both the 2D and 3D shapes. The children have especially enjoyed racing!
