Week Beginning 10th June 2019

This week we have carried on working on 'The Snail and the Whale' book.
When we came to school on Monday we had some special visitors spending the day with us: The Snails family....

'The shell is hard'.

''This one here is very small, it must be the baby'

'It's looking around with its eyes!'

  

 'Aww!! Look at the tiny baby snail. We can touch that one as we might hurt it'.

 'It's leaving a trail on my hand look!'

'It tickles!'

At the end of the day we put the snails outside and left them to go back to their home. 'Bye bye snails, come back soon'. 

After a good hand wash we enjoyed making our very own salt dough snails.

And in no time we had loads of lovely shells..

They are now waiting to dry and they'll soon be ready to be decorated.

Children had the chance to look at sea shells too, observe and felt the different textures and looked closely at their patterns.

'Look Mrs Storer I've made a pattern'.

In maths we learnt about positional language and spent time outside exploring the meaning of words like: next to, in front of, behind, beside etc. 

behind the bridge

In front of the bridge.

Beside the bridge.

We finished the maths at the end of the week by testing our understanding of position and direction.  Can we direct Bee Bot to the correct shell?

In phonics many of us are really working hard to learn the Phase 5 sounds...

We concluded our work on the Snail and the Whale with our first attempt at a Big Write, the whole class sat down together and wowed Miss Welby and Miss Pace.  Well done everyone for a super effort.

Friday afternoon, lots of us enjoyed a reading Share with our families.  Thanks to all who were able to come.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
