We continued reading Paddington. We wrote our own set of instructions for making a marmalade sandwich, followed them, and then ordered the story and rewrote it.

We also had a lovely trip to the library.

Maths

We halved both shapes and numbers.

R.E.

We drew and labelled the religious objects that can be found in a church, such as a font, a lectern and an altar.

Art

We sketched different minibeasts.

Computing

We added a new block into our coding instructions - the 'get' block, which allows us to pick up objects.

Science

We identified the signs of Spring.

History

We continued to compare explorers.

Forest School

We used the digging tools safely. We dug up some interesting rocks. There was also some knot tying, stick wrapping and delicious soup cooking.
