Fruit tasting

This week we are continuing with our unit about ourselves, concentrating on taste.

Each day a different group of children will be tasting a selection of fruit and thinking of ways to describe how it feels, looks and what it tastes like.

With the leftover fruit we will make a fruit salad on Friday to enjoy after our walk on Friday afternoon.

Tractor fun

We had a surprise today, we went to see to 2 tractors. A red and a yellow one.

We were very excited and we all wanted to look inside. First we all looked inside the yellow one.

“There were loads of buttons and 2 seats and I turned the steering wheel.” Harley

“It was hard to go up the steps I had to hold on to the bars to go up.” Isabella

“I liked the the bonnet on the yellow tractor because it was big.” Charlie B

We all had lots of fun 🙂

In Maths we have been busy counting , ordering and recognising numbers. The children have used The Gingerbread Man Topmarks game to help them – http://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/gingerbread-man-game This game works really well on tablets and would be fun to play at home too.
