This week we have been learning about travel and transport. We started the week listening to the story ‘We All Go Travelling By’ before listening to and joining in with the song which we loved! This helped us to develop our understanding of different modes of transport. We have also learnt how to sign ‘car’, ‘train’, ‘plane’ and ‘bus’ and that depending on where we wanted to go on holiday then we would need different modes of transport. We also discussed how some countries are hot and some are cold and we thought carefully about what sort of clothes we would need to take to these countries. Our learning activities have included using the wooden blocks to make ramps to push the cars down – experimenting how to make them go slower and faster. In the home corner we have had holiday brochures and booking forms and we have been deciding where we would like to go on holiday! Our funky fingers activity this week has focused on strengthening our cutting skills as we have had to carefully cut along the patterned lines. Here are some photos of us choosing our own learning! Team EO love choosing their learning outside, here are some pictures of what we got up to this week: Reception children have continued to consolidate previously taught maths knowledge. This week we have focused on partitioning 5. In PE, the class have continued to work hard practising and getting ready for our Sports Day celebration on Thursday 13th July. Mr Smith was very impressed with us in our lesson on Friday! Keep up the good work Team EO! Year 1 Learning:In Literacy, the class began a new unit of writing based on our text driver ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’ by Julia Donaldson. After sharing the text; the text, audience and purpose for writing was established. Children were clear that the focus for this unit of writing would be a letter to their new class teacher (we will find out in the coming weeks who this is) telling them all about themselves.
In Maths, it has been assessment week and the children have worked hard to complete arithmetic and reasoning papers in small groups with myself.
