Week 5
This week we have been thinking about families and how they are all different. We shared our family photos with each other and some funny stories to go with them.
The children also sequenced pictures of themselves in to age order talking about when they were babies, toddlers and how they are different now. It has been wonderful hearing the children talk so passionately about their lives and the important people in them.
We have used the book "Titch" to help us with our English this week. We have been sequencing the story and making our own books too!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Week 4
This week we have been talking about ourselves. Sharing with our friends things we like to do or eat. We also compared our lives with other children across the world. We couldn't believe some people sleep in igloos! We also had a go at painting a self portrait in our sketch books. We made sure we looked in the mirror, painted the right shapes and picked the right colours.
In maths we worked on 1 less within 5. The children were amazing at making numbers and then finding 1 less. We used "first, then, now" stories to help us.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Week 3
We have had a wonderful week learning about the Hindu celebration of Diwali. We saw how families celebrate, heard the story of Rama and Sita and Mrs Singhal came to tell us how she celebrate with her family. She brought clothes and important pieces used in the celebrations. The children really enjoyed learning about this.
In Maths we have been working on 1 more. The children have been using 5 frames to help them work out solutions to first then, now stories.
Have a wonderful weekend.
