Maths

In Maths we have been working on place value and recognising what the digits stand for. We have been using many resources to help us like our diennes, 100 squares and number lines. We had a challenge where we each had a number and we had to use our team skills to order ourselves on a number line, starting and ending at different numbers.

PE- Keep fit!

In PE we have been doing a keep fit exercise class, combining Moky, Pound Fit and Zumba. We have engaged in many different activities. Our favourite has to be using the drumsticks to keep fit. We are developing our gross motor skills, coordination and rhythm whilst having fun. We have a range of music in which makes us move at different speeds and styles. We are building on our muscles as we get even fitter.

Science

In Science we are learning about our bodies and the foods we need to eat. We have been discussing what it means to be healthy and what we need to do. We have looked at a range of food and we can now recognise our food groups from the Eat well guide and which foods go into the different sections. We have also discovered alternative foods in which we can eat to make our diet even healthier.

Writing

In our Literacy we have been using our new planning books. We use these books to plan our writing and to make notes on what we need to include. We have been doing really well at referring to them and checking we have included what we need to. Keep up your good writing skills!

Parachute games

We have been developing our gross motor and listening skills playing our parachute games. We played games where we had to listen for birthdays, phonics sounds and favourite colours. Some games we had to move around, on top or under the parachute.
