English

We started our new twisted tale - The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. We learnt what a twisted tale is, created a character description of this version of the wolf, became news reporters and then planned our own newspaper report. We chose whether to argue that the wolf is innocent or that he is guilty of blowing the houses down!

We finished our learning about money. We started more learning about number and place value. We have been counting in 10s starting at different numbers, 12,22,32 and so on.

We have been representing numbers up to 100 using base 10, 10 frames and straws.

We have been taking great care to make sure our numbers are formed correctly.

We continued to learn about Jesus being presented at the Temple. This week, we focused on Jesus being the light of the world. We coloured in candles ready for Candlemas and sang the song 'This Little Light of Mine' together.

Art

We used our science knowledge to describe different materials. We sketched them and decided whether they would be suitable to create art with.

Forest School

Two of the groups made noodles by boiling water in the Kelly Kettle, the other two groups will make noodles next week.

We also had a great time finding ice and investigating what we could do with it. Superb child initiated learning.
