Week 1

This week we celebrated Dinosaur Day. We looked at several non-fiction books to find out different facts before writing about dinosaurs ourselves. We also learnt about Mary Anning a famous fossil hunter.

In Maths we explored the mass of different dinosaur toys using cubes. We also revised our Number bonds to 5, playing "I've got, you've got". We then began to look at the number bonds to 10.

We also had our first swimming lesson which everyone enjoyed. 

Week 2

Another busy week. This week we celebrated World Ocean's Day. We read some non-fiction books about the oceans and the different creatures that live within them.

In maths we looked at Capacity. Firstly finding the capacity of a series of containers with non-standard units, "the pot pot has the capacity of 14 pompoms." Then we compared the capacity of bottles using a standard cup, "this bottle has the capacity of 2 cups but this bottle has the capacity of 3 cups."

We also revised addition, firstly by counting all the objects. We then began to explore missing number problems. "Firstly I had 5 objects, but now I have 7. How many were added?"

In phonics we learnt the new sounds a_e and o_e.

We also completed our art work, based on the artist Mondrian, ready for the Art exhibition.
