Book of the week- Superworm

We have enjoyed reading the story of the week 'Superworm' by Julia Donaldson. We have been busy making Superworm out of clay, we used our fine motor skills to roll the clay into the shape of Superworm. We waited for them to dry and then we painted them pink. This week we have been learning about number sentences, we have learnt how to write the plus and equal signs. We have used jottings (dots, crosses or lines) to work out the number sentences. In literacy we have been learning about adjectives and we have been describing different characters from the story. We used our phonics knowledge to write a sentence describing Superworm, some of us challenged ourselves and used the word 'and' to make our sentences longer. 

In phonics we have been continuing to learn phase 3 sounds. We have learnt ur, ow, oi and ear and we are looking at trying to find them in words we want to write. We have been busy trying our hardest in early morning work where we have been writing words and trying to hear all of the sounds in the words we want to write. 

Fire Service Visit!

We are super excited to be having a visit from Banstead Fire Service and their fire engine on Tuesday 30th January! This ties in superbly with our topic this half term 'Superheroes' and it will be great to learn more about firefighters and how they help people everyday!

Maths -  We are looking at comparing two groups of objects and using the vocabulary more than and fewer than. We will also be comparing two numbers and using the vocabulary.

English/Phonics - We will be looking at speech bubbles and we will think about what each character might be saying from Supertato. We will then use our phonics knowledge to write down our ideas!

History - We will be reading 'Katie's Picture Show' to help us with our learning on past and present,  we will discuss what these terms mean and sort different items into the past or whether they are used now in present time.  

Expressive art and design-  We will be using the skill collaging to create our imaginary landscapes an d we will add some extra detail into them.
