We have explored d, looking at dinosaurs and role playing doctors.

We explored the magnets and made magical mixtures. We also read a poem called magic box and thought about what we would like to put in our own magic box.

We learnt about numicon and the Numberblocks and played some number games in maths. We enjoyed making necklaces and counting carefully 5 beads onto the string.

We explored insects and illuminated them! We also played lots of instruments!

We all talked about pets we have or pets we know and learnt about the schools pets – the guinea pigs, Biscuit and Fudge.

We found a tent in our outdoor area and enjoyed reading the story of the Tiger who came to tea in it (while eating our snack). We put our phonic knowledge into action when helping the tiger decide what he could take for tea at Sophie’s house. The tiger could only take items that started with the /t/ sound.

We had a tea party, played with trucks in the gravel pit, practised sorting objects according to their initial sound and worked on recognising both the lower and upper case t. We had a go at forming the letter t too.

What a busy morning Class R!

We picked the apples from the garden orchard to help us remember our new phoneme. Some of us helped to cut up the apples so we could put them in the dehydrator and make apple crisps. We really enjoyed eating the apples!

We learnt the phoneme s and did lots of exploring – we explored snails, sunflowers, sunflower seeds, sand, stones, slates, made snakes from playdough and lots more!
