Drawing Club

Our learning has been all about Chinese New Year this week, we read the story 'My First Chinese New Year' by Karen Katz. 

The children have been writing chinese numbers, tasting chinese food, making chinese lanterns and learning all about the different traditions that people do to prepare for Chinese New Year. 

Maths

This week our learning has been around measure. 

We have been measuring the lengths of sticks, using the language of longest and shortest. 

We used the balance scales to measaure the weight of the toy animals, investigating which where heavy and light. 

Finally, we explored capacity, by filling lots of different containers and seeing which could hold the most and least amount of water. 

RE

We spke about what Lent is and made our own Lent Promises. 

We thought about doing something kind for others or practising something we want to improve and get better at over the 40 days of Lent. 

Understanding the World

We found China on the map this week and explored the similarites and differences between China and the UK. 

We also had a visit from an ambulance, the children got to go inside the ambulance and ask lots of questions about how paramedics help people.
