This week our story of the week is Bloom by Anne Booth. We are doing lots of work about flowers, drawing them, investigating them and talking about the different parts of a plant. Yesterday morning the children did a wonderful job of copying a YouTube video to learn how to draw a daffodil. Look at our wonderful drawings!

This week, one of our pictures of the day was of a bee tending a honeycomb. We thought this was a beautiful picture and we chose to do some writing about it. The children came up with their own sentences and tried hard to use all the skills we have been practising recently when writing. We are trying to remember to use the sounds we know to write words, remember how to write some of the tricky words, use capital letters, to use full stops and use gaps between each word. It’s a lot to remember and we are doing really well.

This week we have been learning all about the numbers 10-20. We used numicon to show the pattern of the 10s digit and the 1s digit to make the numbers 11-20. We also matched pictures with different representations of the numbers and ordered them, played games, used numicon to make numbers and ordered birthday cards on a number line and took one away to identify which number was missing. Well done everyone. Here are some photos of our work this week.
