Literacy

Our first story of the half term is Jack and the beanstalk. The children have been learning the story using a story map and putting actions to each word in the sentence. Then have loved using different expressions, especially for the Giant!

Maths 

We have started the half term revisiting subitising to number 6. The children could arrange their counters and describe where they had put them using positional language. This led into us discussing all the different ways we could compose number 6. 

Understanding the World 

We have enjoyed reading some non-fiction texts on how plants grow and the plant life cycle. We dug up some dandelions and looked at the different parts of the plant and discussed what each part of the plant is for. We also learnt lots of dandelion facts. We now appreciate them much more then being a weed!

Expressive Art and Design 

We have completed our termly self portrait. It's so lovely to see how much the children have progressed with their drawing and fine motor skills. Well done Caterpillars!

The children have loved leading their own learning in the craft area. They have been busy making monsters, laser shooters and computers just to name a few!
