Wb-15/1/24
This week in English, we have continued our work on sequencing 'The Mitten', drawing pictures of the key moments in the book and writing captions to describe what is happening.
In maths, we have continued working with numbers within 20, really consolidating the idea of tens and ones. We have looked at 1 more and 1 less and we have played many games to encourage this learning, the class favourite being bingo.
In science, we have used the opportunity the weather has presented us to look at signs of winter. 'How could somebody who didn't know what the date was recognise that we are in winter?'
Wb-8/1/24
This week in English, we have started our new book, 'The Mitten'. We made predictions about what we thought it was about based on the front cover, then looked back after reading it to see whether we were right. We expressed ourselves by describing our favourite part and started to look at sequencing the story towards the end of the week.
In maths, we have looked at place value within 20, describing numbers using tens and ones. We have been using cubes to represent this and even challenged our partners to work out the numbers we were making.
In science, we have started our new topic on materials. This involved a scavenger hunt around the school. We used our observational skills to identify and group objects into different types of materials.
We have also had the bee-bots out in computing. Looking at moving a robot through programming.
