English

We watched the Edgar the dragon advert and read the story that comes with it. We learnt that Edgar was just a dragon who wanted to join in with everyone but he kept melting all of the snow!

We described Edgar, wrote a speech bubble for him, wrote a diary entry and a response. 

Phonics

Some of us have been learning the different split digraph sounds: a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e and u_e.

Some of us have been recapping ways to make the 'ee' sound. We have focused on ea in team, e_e in Pete, ie in chief and ey in key.

Maths

This week we have been using the prepositions before and after. For example, I get dressed before I go to school. Then we started to learn the days of the week and the months of the year.

R.E.

We read Luke (2:41-52) which describes Jesus' time in the Temple when He was a 12 year old boy. We talked about the word 'obedience' and how Jesus promised to be obedient. We also recognised how Mary and Joseph might have felt when Jesus was lost.

Science

We described the properties of different materials using adjectives such as bendy, stiff, soft, hard, rough and smooth.

P.E.

We learnt how to travel around the room using the caterpillar walk, frog jump and bunny hop.

We also learnt how to do a star, pencil and tuck jump.

Art

We were able to be creative and make different sculptures in our Art lesson. We used the materials available to make houses, people, rockets and practise medals.
