Phonics

This week we have been revisiting all of the sounds we have learnt so far.

Maths

We have been learning about one more than a number and playing bingo to find one more.

Drawing Club

This week, we read the story; Oliver's Vegetables.

We discussed what happens in the beginning, middle and end of the story. Then we designed our own character to come and steal some vegetables in the night.

R.E.

We started our week learning all about Lent. We listened to the bible story about Jesus in the desert. We then talked about what we would promise to do in Lent.

We learnt about the Great Commandment, Loving God. We discussed how we show love to one another.

Understanding the World

We have explored different fruits and vegetables.

We started our new topic about Africa. To begin this we listened to the story Handa's Surprise. We looked at a map to find Africa and talked about its size compared to England.

Expressive Arts and Design

In Art, we have been using foods to make face pictures.

Forest School

We went into our very muddy nature area. Our learning was brilliant, we cooked, mixed up the mud, investigated the puddles, looked at the flowers and played games.

We also enjoyed exploring our new shelters.
