Our writing over the last two weeks has been based on the story of Lost in the Toy Museum. The children loved playing the hide and seek game that the toys played in the story and writing down clues on post it notes. In maths, we have been exploring measuring height and length. We have measured using non standard units, eg, hands, feet, counters and cubes, and have begun to use a ruler to measure in centimetres.  In science, we explored the sense of smell and tried to identify different smells with out any visual clues! In art this week, the children made their own printing block using card and polystyrene. Then used a roller to apply paint and use their block to make multiple prints. In history we created a teddy bear timeline.

History - In history we will be answering the question 'How have toys changed?'

Science - After half term we will be exploring our senses.

Art: In art we will be exploring printing. We will be making and using our own printing tiles to create printed pieces of artwork.
