This week in maths we have been learning about money and the value of different coins. Today we worked in pairs to work out how much money was in different jars pinned around the room. I was very impressed with their knowledge and addition skills. I wonder if you could practice making different amounts of money at home?
The children who access Tutormate had a lovely afternoon meeting some of the lovely volunteers who read with them each week. They spoke to their tutor, listened to a story and even told some jokes. It was lovely to hear the tutors talk about how well the children are doing with their reading.
We have been creating pictures using different healthy fruits to print. Some of us even used some of the foods like a paintbrush and made other patterns and designs on our paper! The corn on the cob made a fun pattern when we rolled it like a rolling pin!
Using healthy vegetables to make our very own Mr Potato Heads! We had to think about how we could attach each part to the potato, making sure that we were keeping ourselves and others safe by using the cocktail sticks carefully. We really enjoyed this activity!
We’ve been looking at ABAB patterns in maths and we decided to use dinosaurs to make our own!
We have been learning all about how to keep our teeth nice and clean, and why it is important for us to do this. To begin, we practised using a toothbrush by acting out the steps needed to brush our teeth. Miss McGlone then gave us out very own toothbrush and we did a super job of using it to brush backwards and forwards, up and down making sure we had got into all the sneaky spots. Brushing our tongues is also super important so we practised this too – it really tickled!
In provision, we had lots of fun because we had to use the brushes to clean the sets of teeth! They were so dirty and covered in food and bacteria so we used our brushing skills to make sure they were squeaky clean – we really enjoyed this activity!
As part of our final product, we used sponges to print a pastel colour onto a plant pot. We will be filling our plant pot with compost and planting daffodil bulbs in them so we can watch them grow! 🌼
Today MI visited the library and spent some time getting lost in our own books 🙂 We also enjoyed reading to others and sharing our stories.
Today we continued to plan our independent diary entry. We thought about the gold and green targets we had created and started to build some of the sentences we could use in our writing. We added these to post it notes which we will refer to when we start writing.
Today each mini crew was given a story sentence opener! Children had to continue the story in their mini crew then share with the whole crew at the end! Some great expressive voices were used and some great language choices. Well done MI 🙂
