Whilst reading the story we discussed the meaning of some unfamiliar words like 'sly' and used picture and surrounding words to decode the meaning of the new word.
In PE we played Parachute Ride: children took it in turns to sit on the centre of the parachute and chose their favourite ride. They could choose what ride they wanted to take: motorcycle, boat, car, bus, taxi, bike, etc. We then acted out each part: putting on the helmet, a seatbelt, or a life jacket, turning the keys of the ignition, etc. Children and adult pulled and span the parachute in different ways (wavy bumpy sea....).
'I would like a ride on a motorbike and I've already put my helmet on!'
We have been thinking about shapes and their properties in Maths this week and have completed som tricky problem solving tasks, such as this Giant Gingerbread man puzzle...
PE with Mr Knights this week and we concluded all of our work on throwing and catching and fielding. Finishing with a crazy golf style throwing game and a game of kick rounders.
Inside we have enjoyed some quiet time and time out of the sun using the Hama beads, just look at this teenage mutant hero turtle.
To finish the week we have been busy creating play dough Gingerbread Men.
The children have worked very hard this term and all deserve a well earned rest. Well done everyone.
We have put a couple of extra reading books in bags if you wish to do some extra reading.
You could also help the children consolidate their newly learned skills to count aloud in 10's from 0-100 and in 2's from 0-20.
Have a fantastic half term everyone...
From Mrs Storer, Miss Welby, Mrs Webb and Mrs Cox.
