Shape

Over the last 2 weeks, we have looked at 2d and 3d shapes.

The children have looked at identifying and talking about the properties of the shapes.

They have made shape patterns, shape pictures, built with 3 d shapes, made straw nets and clixi 3d shapes. The children have enjoyed singing – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=guNdJ5MtX1A

Here are a few interactive games:

Forest school and tennis session dates

We do however have another treat for the class.  This Friday and the following 2 Fridays the children in class 1 will take part in some tennis coaching sessions.  We will send your child’s PE kit home with them, so that they can come into school wearing their PE kit on a Friday am.  We will continue to have PE on a Monday afternoon, so please send their kit back in on a Monday morning.

Dates:

Thursday 1st March:   World Book Day – come to school dressed as a character

Pancake maths

This week our focus story is ‘The Runaway pancake’.  We have linked our maths work to pancakes.  On Monday we looked at our favourite pancake toppings and made a class pictogragh, we found out the jam was the favourite topping in the Class, and in 2nd equal; lemon juice with sugar and maple syrup.

The children have used the coins to buy pancakes, they had to work out how much they needed to pay using our pennies. We also looked at how the price doubles when the pancakes cost 2p rather than 1p.

Some children investigated how they could share 10 strawberries between 2 pancakes and wrote their own calculations!

Maths – early subtraction

This week our focus story has been ‘The 3 Little Pigs’.  We have used this as a basis for our Maths.  The children have enjoyed singing songs such as 10 pigs in a bed and 10 Little Piggies went walking one day and have been able to say and show how many are left each time.

Over the week they have made up number subtraction stories using the farm animals, used number lines to count back and have a go at recording their number sentences.
