I can't believe we are in week 6 already! Time has really flown by here in school!
In maths, we have been starting to look at part-whole models and how these can help us partition numbers and also help us with our addition. We rolled dice twice to generate numbers before putting the amounts in the hands of an alien. We then helped alien work out the whole number by adding the parts together. We then wrote number sentences on whiteboards which represented the aliens whole number and part numbers.
During music sessions this half term, we have been learning to listen to a pieces of music and think about different elements of it. We might have to listen to see if the piece of music is smooth and spiky, listen to see if it is fast or slow and we have even been giving our own opinions as to whether we like the music or not. How much fun we have had having mutual respect of and tolerence of those with different faiths and beliefs, and for those without faith, which is part of our British Values.
We were given Munch last week for becoming so independent eating our lunch and tidying away our lunchtime plates. He has sat in our classroom, on our interactive whiteboard, watching our amazing work this week and we took him with us to our star table lunch today. He even tried to pinch our lunch but we have loved having Munch visit us!
We have read old and new versions of the Three Little Pigs in our outdoor learning sessions and this week we had a go at telling the story together in our own words. There was a LOT of huffing and puffing! We used clay and natural materials to make our own little pigs and then worked together to build houses for them.
