Week Ending 24.6.16

This week we are pretending to be under the sea - appropriate for the weather on Monday!

The children listened to the story Commotion in the Ocean. They did a piece of drama where they pretended to explore under the sea and found a treasure chest.

They then wrote a sentence about the things that they discovered under the sea.

In maths we are continuing to add and subtract by solving every day problems.

In PE we are practising our skills for sports day.

This week we are pretending to be in a fairy tale.

We listened to the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and the children went on a search for the golden egg that the giant had lost.

The children wrote thank you letters to Pizza Express and the Forum Library as both classes have been on their trip.

In maths we are continuing to practise using our addition and subtraction skills.

Don't forget it's our story cafe on Wednesday morning from 9am - please come and join us.

Week ending 10.6.16

For International week this week we learnt about Brazil.

We looked at the United Kingdom first and then looked at where Brazil was. We talked about it being in South America and located this on Google Earth and the globe.

The children went on a safari through the Amazon rain forest and we learnt about the animals that they might see. 

We learnt about favelas in Rio and the children built their own favelas out of recyclable materials, knex, lego and duplo.

We look at the famous Rio landmark 'Christ the Redeemer' and we made a model from clay.

We had two specialist teachers in and the children had a capoeira lesson and learn a Brazilian dance.

We also made Brazilian headdresses to wear at the Brazilian carnival.
