14th - 18th March

Last week we learnt the story 'We're going on a bear hunt'. We have enjoyed retelling the story using actions and have produced some beautiful story maps. We thought about the different physical features in the story (long wavy grass, deep cold river, thick oozy mud, big dark forest, swirling whirling snowstorm and the narrow gloomy cave). We then collected grass, mud, soil and stones to put in our 'bear hunt tray' and we've had lots of fun using it to retell the story!

Can you see the bear?

Pancake day

On tuesday morning we had a pancake race! It was really difficult to flip the pancakes without them landing on the ground, but it was so much fun! In the afternoon the children made their own pancakes and ate them with lemon and sugar, yummy! Take a look below at some of the photos.

Pancake race!

Time to try the delicious pancakes!

Yum, yum!

This week in class we have been learning about information books. We decided to make our own class information book about 'toys' and this week we have been busy taking photos of toys and writing descriptions about them on the computer. It is nearly finished so we will be able to share it with you soon!

We have also started learning about money this week in numeracy lessons. We have been thinking about what money is and what it's used for. We have made price tags for the toys in our Toy Shop and have been using pretend money to pay for them.

28th Feb - 4th March

Welcome back, I hope you've all had a lovely half term break! We have started our new topic this week 'Toys and Teddies' and have turned our role-play area into a Toy Shop. The children have already started having great fun in the toy shop and it has provided a range of learning experiences.

A big thank you to all the parents that have donated toys for our Toy Shop! They are already being well used, and myself, Mrs B and all the children greatly appreciate them!
