That's right this week we have learnt yet another nursery rhyme and talked about the meaning of some of the words in it: fetch, pail, crown, caper....
The well built last week in the outside area has been used throughout the week to fetch water and filling up buckets of different sizes. This has encouraged the children to use vocabulary related to capacity such as empty, full and half full.

| Fetching a pail of water form our well was good fun. |
 |
| Estimating and measuring capacity. |
 |
| Some of us made a well for Jack and Jill |
 |
| Hot seating: we took it in turns to be Jack or Jill and answer questions form our friends. |
 |
| More wells for Jack and Jill |

| Fantastic independent work ordering numbered pails of water. Some fantastic learning continued throughout the week thanks to Jack and Jill; in maths where we were able to use 'pails' to help us with adding and subtraction problems. Then, in our English sessions we practised our independent writing and retold the rhyme with words and pictures. Thursday and we enjoyed another fantastic visit from our friend from Blyth Woods, we enjoyed a whole school meander along the surrounding fields and footpaths to see 'Grove Piece' the new piece of land the trust will be turning into their own community woodland. A fantastic time was had by all and we were so fortunate to get back in the warm just before the downpour.  Answer: Most of them. We finished the week with a 'Spotacular Day', well done to everyone who came dressed in spots and thank you for being so generous, we raised nearly £130-Fantastic. Well done to Dotty for winning Pudsey's spotty jar. Congratulations to Lily, our Golden Book winner this week, for working so hard with your independent writing and handwriting. Have a lovely weekend everyone. |
