Drawing Club 

We continued to read 'The Smeds and The Smoos' - this week we focused on designing our own space rocket and writing a descriptive sentence about it.

Maths

We learnt about teen numbers.

We talked about 10 and then adding more to make a teen number.

Understanding the World

We started to learn all about astronauts and the important job they do. 

We talked about what they wear and also watched a video about an astronaut called Tim Peak when he was in space!

In history, we continued our learning about the 'The Royal Family'

This week we focused on the Monarchy, specifically the King and Queen.

Art

This week we drew space pictures on top of our galaxy painting from last week.  

We used black felt tip pens and drew lots of brilliant space related pictures.

PE

We continued to develop our fundamental skills. 

We also started our practice for sports day races.

PSHE 

This week we started our Right Start Training.

We focused on learning about how we can stay safe when we walk on the pavements.

We also spoke about driveways and how we can walk past safely.

Forest School

In our log circle area we made obstacle courses. We took great care when moving the logs around. We had discussions about how to make our obstacle course and we tested it before eveyone had a go.
