Hello!
We have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year this week, learning that the children were either born in the year of the Rooster or the Dog. The children tasted some Chinese food and have also watched Lion and Dragon dancing clips.
In our Mathematic sessions this week we have been looking at capacity. Miss Cooper managed to fit 12 things into a matchbox and we have challenged the children to see if they can beat this score at home. It would be great to know how you get on and to see the children's boxes. The clip we watched can be found here, if you want to get some ideas! Please don't worry if you don't have a matchbox, any very small box will do.
We will be returning to our project of "Dinosaurs" this coming week, where we will be:
- Sharing the story "Dinosaur Roar!", this is another rhyming book so we will be trying to find all of the rhyming words.
- Writing a caption to go along with one of the pictures from "Dinosaur Roar!", using describing words to match the picture.
- Moving on to the phase "Growing 6, 7, 8" in our Mathematics sessions, thinking about and comparing the numbers 6-8.
- Learning the first 4 vowel digraphs in our Phonics sessions.
- Watching Numberblocks this week, watching the episodes for the characters 6 to 10.
- Watching an "Andy and his Dinosaur Adventures" episode all about pumice stone and then trying to create our own volcano.
