Welcome back!
This week we are learning about a country in Africa called Kenya using the book 'Handa's Surprise',
We are using the story structure to write captions and retell parts of the story and notice that there are different fruits they grow and animals that live wild in this country.
Next week we will look more into the Urban Kenya and the cities, mountains and beaches.
What is similar and what is different between our country and Kenya?
We also tried the fruits from the book and made a chart to find out the classes favourite!
What a wonderful week!
Thank you for all your support at home.
6 weeks to go!

The children have loved retelling the story of Rosies walk this week.

5th May Coronation

What a week of celebration.
The King's Coronation.
Vocabulary of the week was : Coronation and Past, Present and Future thinking here about the Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and future King William.
We have thoroughly embraced this, once in a life time event ready for the weekend. It helps us talk about, present and future events and why we have a king and queen. We also talk about families and think about our own family.
We talk about the traditions of royal parties in the past and what we might do to celebrate within our community.
In mathematics we have been adding on and combining two numbers within 10 to to make a new total.
In the woods we have been re-enacting the parade of the King and Queen and making crowns with natural resources.
We have a fantastic Coronation Tea party with Mrs parker and Mrs Hemingway on Wednesday.
We finished the week with the Prom's in the play ground.
What a busy week.
Enjoy the bank holiday!
