What a great first few weeks of the autumn term! 

In English the children have loved the story of the 'Teddy Bear's Picnic'. They have written invitations, shopping lists and instructions about how to make a jam sandwich. A fantastic time was had by all at our own Teddy Bear's Picnic! 

In maths the children have been busy exploring number to 10. They have been counting and representing numbers in different ways: in numerals, in words, with objects and on tens frames.

In science we have been looking at weather in the different seasons.

In history we have been thinking about how special events are remembered. It has been great to hear the children talk about their memories from the photographs they brought in.

In art we have been taking inspiration from the artist Molly Haslund. We created a collaborative piece of artwork by working together. 

:

Maths - In maths we will be comparing numbers to 10 and using part, part whole models to represent numbers.

Writing - Our writing stimulus will be Paddington Bear.  We will be writing a 'Please find this Bear' poster and 

History - We will be exploring childhood in the past. We will be finding out what life was like for a child in the 1960s and 1970s as well sorting toys from the past and present. 

Science - We will be exploring how trees change during the different seasons and taking a walk around the block to look for signs of autumn.

Art: We will be exploring the skills of blending and smudging with pastlels.
