Our learning question this week has been ‘What is it like in city?’. We started the week listening to the story “All Aboard the London Bus” by Patricia Toht – we know that in London they have big red buses called ‘London buses’. This book introduced us to England’s capital city and it’s well-known landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London eye. This week we have also thought about special places and how everyone has a different one. Our learning activities this week have included; making a London mini book about what we can see in London, using the ‘how to draw…’ step by step instructions to draw a bus, make a red London bus, make a busby solider and choosing a London landmark and drawing it. We have also enjoyed having the Beebots and made them move by inputting directions – we have begun to use the direction words; forwards, backwards, left and right. Our Talk through Stories of the week this week has been ‘Tiddler’. In Maths, our Reception have solved first, then, now addition stories and first, then, now subtraction stories. Our Year 1 children have count efficiently in groups of five, count in groups 2,5 and 10 and explained the value of a 1p coin in pence. Our Reception children have also continued to access handwriting where we have practised letter formation and hold a sentence. In Literacy, Year 1’s started the week using regular past and present tense by adding the suffixes ‘ed’ and ‘ing’ to words, we have practised forming capital letters and saying the names of the letter and the sounds they make. We have spent the past two days putting a plan together for our sequel to ‘The Smeds and The Smoos’ – we are very excited to write it next week! In Science, we have learnt the terms omnivore, herbivore and carnivore. We know that the arrows on a food chain shows the direction that energy travels and we have learnt some food chains. In PE, we practised the sprint race, relay race and egg and spoon race!
