Phonics

This week we have been learning the ai and ee sounds.

Maths

We have been learning about one less than a number. We have been looking at number sentences and using beanbags to help us take an amount away.

Drawing Club

This week, we read the story; The Odd Egg.

We predicted what would be in the duck's egg. Then we designed our own machine to open the egg and drew how we would care for a baby crocodile.

R.E.

We continued talking about Lent and revisited our Lenten promises. We listened to a story all about being sorry and talked about what we can do to make people feel better.

Understanding the World

We continued our new topic about Africa. This week we looked at atlas', maps and globes to help us find Africa. We talked about what the different colours meant and what they could be. The children were fascinated with the animals that lived in certain parts of Africa. We then created our own maps of Africa.

Expressive Arts and Design

In Art, we have been painting pictures of daffodils.

PSED

We  learnt how to brush our teeth. We also watched a story song called The Pantosaurus by the NSPCC, which tells us how important it is to keep what is in our underpants private and to ourselves.
