We have had a fantastic week learning all about animals. The children have really loved this topic. For Writing we have been writing lists of animals we saw at the zoo and writing Who Am I? clues for everyone to guess the animal, we had lots of fun doing this.

In Maths we have been sharing amounts, using money in our own little shop and we have been recapping 2D shapes that we could see in our classroom.

In French this week, we talked about the points of the compass and why they are useful. Then we played games to reinforce the vocabulary in French. 

Our Understanding the World has been a lovely topic as we have looked at habitats. The children have all done a collaborative collage of different habitats, including; jungle, desert, arctic and oceans. We all talked about what we would expect to hear, feel, see and touch in those habitats before we made our collage. Then we made our own animal pictures to go within those habitats. We have also looked at animals from the past that are not here anymore, specifically a woolly mammoth and a sabre toothed tiger! The children loved learning about these extinct animals and used great vocabulary.

For Come and See we started our new topic of Friendship. We all spoke about what makes a good friend and how we can help each other.

Finally, we have been doing outdoor learning, creating our own obstacle course. The children worked very well together and took part in each others courses!

We hope that everyone has a great half term. We can't wait to come back for the final half term with our new topic, journeys!
