This week the story is 'Mr Wolf's pancakes'. The story features a lot of the traditional tale characters that the children have heard about in the last few weeks. The story is about working as a team and helping each other.
It is pancake day tomorrow so the children will have the opportunity to make and try pancakes. We will discuss healthy eating, good hygiene whilst cooking, traditions and the changes that the children notice during the cooking process.
In maths we are revising teen numbers and learning how to subtract using objects to help.
The children will continue to do story scribing, phonics, reading and learning through play. Everyday the children choose what they want to do and the learning follows the children's own interests.
They are also continuing PE and the theme is games.

Week Beginning 20.2.17
This week is international week at school - we will look at the UK and we are also learning a bit about the arctic. The children received a letter from Santa Claus asking them to recommend where he could go on holiday. Some of the children have already written replies with some good recommendations!
The children have looked at fiction and non-fiction books about the arctic. They have learnt about the animals who live in the arctic. We have talked daily life and about similarities and difference between there and where we live.
In maths we are revising teen numbers and adding with objects by counting how many altogether.
The children will be writing a sentence independently so that we can assess what they can do on their own.
Have a good week!

Week beginning 6.2.17
This week we are continuing with traditional tales and the book this week is 'Heidi'. The children know that traditional tales were passed down verbally and not always written down. We are really focusing on the language used in stories and the children will discuss the characters, the order of the story and the setting. Our new library is nearly finished and the children will be able to go visit this week if they choose to.
We are assessing phonics this week to see how the children are getting on. This may mean that they need to move into a different phonic group or we need to go back over some of the phonics we have taught. We will not be doing writing this week as the time will be taken up with assessments. The children will still be reading or doing their sound game or blend game. Please continue to practise at home over half term.
In maths we are continuing to learn about 1 more and 1 less than a number and we are revisiting teen numbers, the children are working on recognisng teen number to 20 and ordering them.
It is International week the first week back so we will be looking at the map of the United Kingdom. We always do a revision of the UK so the children become familiar with the countries in the UK and where different places are located. We remind the children where Norwich is and other key places that children may have visited in the past. We will ask the children about similarities and differences between Norwich and other places they have visited. We are looking forward to seeing if anyone goes anywhere different in the UK this half term - don't forget to take photos if you visit anywhere so that we can add it to our UK board in the classrooms.
Have a great half term holiday!
