We have been

learning about the phoneme u and its graphemes u/U.
U is found in : Duck in the truck, under the sea and underwater camera, umbrella, writing with mud, treasure hunting with sun, cup, nut and muck, going up into our motor car and mud kitchen muffins.

We made guacamole and ate it with pitta bread for an afternoon snack. Children took it in turns to do different jobs – grating the limes, juicing the limes, adding chilli, scooping and mashing the avocado

and chopping tomatoes.

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.
