We have had a great week starting our new topic of Julia Donaldson and the story of Zog. This week we have been retelling the story using story props, it was lots of fun! We have also been using our sounds to write short words on our own in Phonics.
In maths, we have been subitising when looking at different amounts. Then we have put these amounts in order, creating our own numberlines.
In Phonics we have done the sounds: x, y, z and zz and we have learnt new games to help us with our learning, called 'read, read, run' and 'phonic detectives.'
In French this week, we began to learn the words for different fruit. We enjoyed doing the conga to a fruity song - J'aime les fruits!
In Science, we looked at our teeth and how to keep them healthy. We put some eggs in different liquids such as coke, milk, orange juice to see how the liquid will affect the egg shell after a week. The same thing might happen to our teeth if we don't clean them properly. We also looked at some sheep skulls and compared sheep teeth to ours.
We have started our new topic of Celebrations for Come and See, if you have any photos of celebrations that the children have taken part in please send them to us over Seesaw.
In Art this week we have created our initials in Braille. We looked at the artist Clarke Reynolds, who is the UK's first Braille artist to inspire our work.
What a busy week!
Next week we will continue with the story of Zog, see you Monday, Reception.
