This week’s line of inquiry has been “What’s inside a fruit?’. We started the week listening attentively to the story ‘A Fruit is a Suitcase for a Seed’. We learnt that a fruit is a ripened part of a flowering plant that contains seeds and that vegetables grow from plants but do no have seeds in or on them. This helped us to distinguish between different types of fruit and vegetables. We have also enjoyed listening to Oliver’s Fruit Salad and we have been practising singing and signing along to ‘The Planting Song’ and ‘Way Up High in an Apple’. Our learning activities this week have included; making a shopping list of different types of fruits, looking at the inside of different fruits at the seeds and drawing what we can see, sorting photos into fruit and vegetables, making a poster to show how we can stay healthy and in our funky finger area we have been practising our scissors skills to cut out the fruit pieces and sticking them in the bowl to make a fruit salad! In Maths, Year 1 children have started a new unit of learning. We have explained that the digits in the numbers 11-19 express quantity and explained that the digits in the numbers 11 to 19 express position on a number line. Reception children have discussed our understanding of equivalence and made and described double arrangement on fingers, distributed collections into equal and unequal groups, sorted numbers to 10 according to whether each number is a double or not a double and practised rapid recall of double facts to 10. Here we are sharing objects between ourselves and Rosie Rabbit. In Literacy, Year 1 children have been working on writing their alternative short burst for the story “The Whales Song’. We have been working hard to produce independent sentences using capital letters, fingers spaces and full stops accurately, using the conjunction ‘and’ and the suffix ‘es’. We will be finishing these off next week! Reception children continue to access appropriate RWI groups and are trying super hard to produce independent sentences during morning work and in choosing time. Here some are some of the Sunshines and Rainbows during our first read of 'Six Fish' this morning! In PSHE, we have continued to focus on accepting other people and appreciating different views. This week we looked at what strengths an individual might have, we discussed how we will have our own strengths and that these will be different to others, we then went away and identified our own strengths. We will continue working on identifying our strength and then we will share them with a friend and then share what our friend is good at with the class!
