The children welcomed a special visitor into Class 1 today.  Post woman Jen came in to tell them all about her job.

The children really enjoyed meeting her and they had plenty of questions to ask.

This week the children have been making up their own number stories about one and two more.  Some children even started to think about what would happen if there was one less.

The children used small world objects to help tell their story – e.g. There were 4 horses in the school field and one more came.  In pairs they worked out the new totals.  Some children will have this recorded in  their online learning journal – Tapestry.

If you see/hear your child using this language at home or in play, please do upload onto their Tapestry area.

The children in Class 1 have been finding out all about Chinese New Year this week.

In Literacy we read the Story of the race  – http://www.topmarks.co.uk/ChineseNewYear/ZodiacStory.aspx

Then in Maths we looked at what an ordinal number is and used the animals from the story to help us understand 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.

In P.E.  we leaned a Lion Dance and found out that Dragons don’t like red.

In art / DT the children made lanterns and lion masks.

The children found out how to write their initials in Chinese writing.

Finally some of the children enjoyed eating Chinese food for their lunch.

Today the children in Class 1 enjoyed revisiting all the sounds we have covered so far.  We sang the Jolly buy xanax 2mg Phonics songs and then practised our letter formations.

This week the children have been very busy weighing and balancing items.  They have been using comparative language to compare the weights of parcels and have ordered parcels from lightest to heaviest.

The children have also cooked porridge and have had to weigh out the oats to make it ‘just right!’.  Just like in the story of the 3 Bears.
