Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson has started us off on a journey into the 'passed on kind of past'. We spent time looking at the animals in the story and wrote about them.
In YOGA we have been working on new poses: 'Windmill' which consists in standing up straight with our arms out to the sides and touching the opposite hand to the foot. This way we crossed the middle line of our body to help the left and right brains talk tom each other....
'Penguin' pose is more of a balancing pose whilst kneeling up and holding our ankles.
In maths we have used the words measuring and weight. We measured the weight of some parcels using a balancing scale and marbles to measure their weight. That way we found out which one was the heaviest and lightest parcels.
Estimating the weight in marbles.
Counting the marbles carefully.
Double checking...
and recording our data...
"When the bucket is down it means it is heavy"
The children's focus then moved throughout the week to measuring length and then estimating and checking capacity.
Phonics this week and we have been working so hard on developing our independent writing skills, really thinking about ALL of the sounds that we ca hear within the words when we write them.
Fantastic writing, well done.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
