This week we are pretending to be police.
We read the story Burglar Bill and the children discussed their favourite part of the story. They then wrote a sentence about which part they liked the best. The children liked that Burglar Bill turned into a goody by the end!
At the moment we are doing a lot more writing in class at the moment so that the children have the skills in place to write a sentence that can be read by themselves and others. We are focussing on hearing the beginning, middle and end sounds in words by using our phonic knowledge, using finger spaces and correctly forming letters.
In maths we have continued to work on dividing and we have learnt how to solve problems involving division.
The children had a visitor in to talk to them about road safety.

This week we have been pretending that The tiger came for tea!
We read the book The Tiger Who Came to Tea. The children all discussed what they would feed the tiger if he visited their house and then they wrote a sentence about it.
We investigated what would happen if we left different food out. We put a whole banana, an open banana, a chocolate biscuit, a yoghurt and a slice of bread on a tray. The children made predictions abut what would happen to the different food and we are going to observe the changes taking place over the next couple of weeks.
In maths we learnt how to share and divide between 2, 3 and 4. The children used practical resources to help with this.

This week we have pretending to be zoo keepers.
We watched an animated version of the book 'Dear Zoo'. The children all enjoyed the story and a lot of the children were familiar with the book.
We discussed which animal the children would like the zoo to send them and reasons why they would like that animal. The children then wrote a letter to the zoo to request their animal.
In maths we have been looking at doubling. The children have been having a go at doubling practically and solving problems relating to doubling.
We are working hard at the moment to develop the children's writing so we have been doing extra sentence work to encourage the children to be able to write a simple sentence independently. We have been encouraging them to think about the sounds they can hear in a word, the formation of letters and remembering to use finger spaces.
The children have also been making different boxes with the construction materials so that the animals can travel safely!
