Inside Out

We have finally got the blog up and running again after some changes in usernames and passwords!! We will try to keep you updated with weekly blogs on what the children have been doing and what they will be learning the following week.

This half term we have been looking at creatures that live inside and out. This started with a dinosaur hunt in the outdoor area. The children loved looking for dinosaurs and were very excited to find a baby one inside a dinosaur egg!

We enjoyed retelling story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar during book week. We counted fruits and made our butterfly Mother's Day cards. Professor Pango Mango made us laugh with his funny rhymes and we were lucky enough to have the Year 6 children come and read to us.

We have been looking at creatures in shells the last couple of weeks. We had some snail visitors and looked at them eating homemade lettuce soup. Some of us were even brave enough to hold them.

This week we read Sharing a Shell by Julia Donaldson and listened for rhyming words and were told the story of How Tortoise Got his Broken shell. We have been challenging the children to use 2d shapes to mend the shell. We have also been mixing colours.

Next week we will be learning about Easter by listening to the Easter Story. We will also be discussing what the children do to celebrate Easter. Please talk to your child about what they will be doing Easter weekend so that they can get involved in discussions.

We will be singing 'Hot Cross Buns' and revising the letter sounds we have been introduced to - s, a, t, p, i, n, m, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, b, f. The children will practise recognising these and will be thinking of words which start with these sounds.
