Busy, busy, busy......

We all made a new friend on Tuesday! Anton introduced us to his very best friend, Asger from Denmark. Asger joined us for some of Tuesday morning and we showed him what it looked like to be part of our class and what kind of things we do. 

Thanks for coming to see us Asger!

We read a great book by Dr Seuss called 

"If I ran a Zoo"

It is full of very wacky animals. We talked about the different characteristics that these strange animals have and what the children thought about them. We then decided to use our imaginations and create our own animals to go in the zoo. We came up with some very interesting creatures!

Please check under each child's individual page for their creation.

Patterns 

We are still working hard on patterns and the different ways that we can show them. We have been doing number patterns, shape patterns and colour patterns. We have been explaining our patterns using A,B,C,D. We also got very creative and made lines, spirals and zig-zags into patterns.

Our are also concentrating on our subtraction facts with numbers within 10. We have been using a great dice game to help us do this. Also lots of fun stories where we use different manipulatives to create subtraction stories and show what happens. 

   

Reading

We love reading and this week we have been doing back to back reading. The children get to pick three books and then with a partner they sit back to back. They are really enjoying the quiet time straight after lunch where they come into the classroom and cool down after running around at lunch. I can also hear some fabulous readers!!

PE with Mr Andy

Hockey Fun

For the last few lessons, in PE we have been learning about hockey. We have inquired into how to hold the stick, dribble the ball and passing. We have played little matches against each other. - Mr Andy
