English

We have been learning through a new book this week: The Enormous Crocodile! We found out that the crocodile had secret plans and clever tricks. We identified his tricks, found adjectives in the story and we used the -er and -est suffixes in our writing. We wrote some brilliant sentences such as 'The Enormous Crocodile is the strongest' and 'Muggle Wump is smaller than Trunky the elephant.'

Phonics

Some of us have been revising oy as in toy and oi as in coin. We have also revised ir as in bird and ur as in burn.

Some of us have been learning the different ear spellings: ear in hear, eer in deer and ere in here.

Maths

We have been learning how to find halves of amounts by sharing. We have also been practising our counting in 2s,5s and 10s. 

R.E.

We continued to read about Jesus' Ascension. We wrote speech bubbles for what was said by both Jesus and His disciples.

Art

We made our own feathers out of the craft materials that we have in the classroom. We used our imagination, creating different coloured and sized feathers.

Science

We went outside and found different leaves. We talked about how leaves are a part of the plant and how we can use the leaves to distinguish which plant it came from. We drew two different plants and labelled the parts.

Forest School

We baked bananas with chocolate buttons in them.Yummy !

We have been celebrating the month of May. We made willow crowns. We discussed which flowers we could pick. We practised our knot-tying skills.
