We have been looking at doubles this week. The children have worked out the cost of 2 items that are the same, doubled ladybug spots and doubled the amount of objects when they passed through the double hoop.

One group were very busy finding the oa/o-e/oe/o words in their story book.

The children have been exploring shapes today. They have been finding out which shapes roll, stack and do both. They have explored which shapes are the best to build with. They have used the clixi to make 3D shapes.  Earlier a group of children built a really tall tower using duplo, they had to ask me to help because it got so tall!

The children wanted to have a Class 1 shop so they could spend their money. They then decided they also wanted a cafe. The children busied themselves making trolleys, tags and credit cards, some even made some magazines to sell.  I am sure they will continue to think of and make things that they want in their Clas s1 shop.

Thank you very much for all the donations of 1 pences and 2 pences.  Today the children were using them to play shops.  They  took it in turns to be the shop keeper and customers.  They had to work put how much money they would have left.

We will be continuing with money work over the week, concentrating on subtraction and some children will be recording their number sentences.
