Autumn 1 - Week 3
In phonics this week we have continued to review the things we learnt in Reception.
In maths we have been doing both practical activities and written activities. We continue to work with numbers to 10, counting on from any number and finding 'one more'. There have also been lots of questions where we have had to apply our learning to solve problems. We have also been learning to read number words to ten - some of these words we can sound out, but some are tricky words.
We have been focusing on writing 'one arm robot letters' in our handwriting sessions this week. We are trying hard to remember that each of these letters starts at the top.
In our science lessons we have been learning about body parts and our five senses. We used our senses to help us to answer questions and we shared some of our favourite smells and tastes.
This week our Forest Friday started with a story - Stanley's Stick. We then found our own sticks which became magic wands, trumpets and many other things.
Autumn 1 - Week 2
In phonics we have continued to review our prior learning, including tricky words.
In maths we have been consolidating our understanding of numbers to 10, using a range of representations. It is important that we have a good understanding of the value of number as we will apply this throughout the year. Below you can see some of the extra challenges we have been set - we have applied our knowledge of number when working on these problems.
We have been learning about the Christian story of Creation in RE lessons, sequencing pictures to retell the story and creating observational drawings of items collected from the natural world.
In art lessons we have been drawing spirals, exploring different drawing tools and surfaces. We particularly enjoyed working together to make spirals on a piece of paper that streteched the length of our classroom.
Our Forest Friday challenge this week was to make a story stick, it was great to be able to help our friends and work together on this activity.
