Week 9!!

Wow! What a quick week! Here is a round up of what we have been up to!

Topic

We continued with our Human Body topic this week and have been learning about and exploring our 5 senses.

We had lots of fun on Monday afternoon carrying out some touch, smell and sight tests! The children worked in pairs or trios and recorded what they thought each item was.

Feely boxes…

Smell test….

Sight test…

On Tuesday we carried out a taste test. The children were asked to guess what each drink was by using their sight, smell and then taste! They were very surprised when the ‘orange juice’ didn’t smell quite like they thought it would and managed to identify it as water!

We also had a go at making some scented soup with different herbs and spices during soft start! 👃🏻🍵

Literacy

Our two new sounds this week were y and x.

This morning we enjoyed sharing our homework with each other.

We are going to be spending the next few weeks looking at the text ‘Owl Babies’. We started by listening to the story on Monday and then made up some actions to help us remember it. We have been having a go at retelling the story using our actions, puppets and story stones to help us.

We also had a go at sequencing the story by putting pictures in the correct order.

Numeracy

More practice at making equal groups this week, as well as recognising unequal amounts in a group or row.

We have also been working on our skip counting in 2s, some of the children challenged themselves and have been working hard to write the numbers too.

World book day

We had a great day celebrating World Book Day on Thursday! 😀📚

We started the day by sharing our favourite books and talking about the characters we were dressed up as.

We then decorated our potatoes! The children showed wonderful creativity for this task and I saw lots of determination to create their characters! Sticking things to a potato is not an easy task!
