Spring 1
This term we are looking at our new topic of ‘Winter and Ice’. We are going to be taking part in different science experiments, such as 'sticky ice' and the 'blubber' experiment.
In maths, we have been thinking all about number 5 and 6. We have been subitising numbers 0-6 thinking about how the numbers are made up. We have then been using our stem sentences. for example, 2 and 2 makes 4. We invited our parents in to attend a maths workshop, which we really enjoyed. We shared our subitising knowledge with them and have taken home some homework to complete with our grown ups.
In our space, shape and measures we have been using the balancing scales to describe items using heavier and lighter. We then used some cubes to see if we could balance different items out.
In phonics we have started to move onto phase 3 and looking at the different digraphs and trigraphs. We are reading these in our collins ebooks and started to write short sentences using our phonics knowledge making sure we are spelling tricky words correctly.
On Friday mornings, we are enjoying taking part in forest school sessions with Miss Mantle/ Mrs Spencer. During this sessions, we have been on winter walks, looking at different animals who may hibernate in the winter and very soon we are going to be making our own bird feeders, made bird Feeders and even enjoyed looking for the signs of winter.
We are all very excited to be moving onto our new topic after half term where we have some visitors coming to see us and we will be going on a Trip on Tuesday 12th March.
