We have had another great week learning all about dinosaurs!
This week we have continued to look after the eggs that we had delivered last week. When they hatched, they were dinosaurs! We have written letters explaining how to look after the eggs and the baby dinosaurs.
In maths we have been looking at more/less and playing an interactive game to find the missing numbers. We have also looked at the numbers from 11-20 and how many tens and units make that number.
In French this week, we practised counting to 10 with a game and recapped body parts with song. We reread the story of La chenille qui fait des trous. There is lots of vocabulary in this story that is becoming more familiar to the children now - they are such good listeners! Fantastique!
In Science, we looked at the fossil model we made last week. We saw the creatures had left moulds in the shape of their bodies that over millions of years, could become fossils. We then made some imprint fossils with shells and garden finds, and talked about whether different dinosaurs were carnivores or herbivores and how we could tell by their teeth. We wrote some suitable shopping lists.
We have also looked at volcanoes and where you can find them. We made our own clay volcanoes and when they were dry we did a science experiment making our volcanoes explode!
In RE we have continued to look at Good News and how we share it. We each made our own disciple and drew how happy they were with the news that the Holy Spirit had arrived.
To finish the week we talked about the Eurosvision song contest. We looked at what it is and why it is done. We watched some singers who have competed in previous contests and sang some songs ourselves. Then we used the Atlas' and maps to find some of the countries that are taking part.
