Excellent puppets

This week we finished our puppets! We used lots of different materials, including buttons, googly eyes and wool to decorate them and make them look great!

    -In Literacy this week we have been busy writing explanations of how to play simple games, such as snakes and ladders. We played the games ourselves, explained how to play them to a partner and then had a go at labelling the games or writing a simple explanation of the rules.

      -In Maths this week the Reception children have been working on counting out two groups of objects and adding them together. The Y1 children have been working on using money to solve simple word problems.
-In our topic work this week we have been looking at the differences between old and new toys. We especially enjoyed the toy workshop as we learned all about how toys have changed over the years. We also used the laptops for the first time, completing simple games with a partner. 

Toy Workshop

Yesterday we had lots of fun taking part in a toy workshop. We looked at some toys from the past as well as some that we play with today. The best part, though, was when we got to play with all of them!

·         In Literacy this week we have been reading the story ‘Harry and the dinosaurs romp in the swamp!” We talked about the characters in the story and how they were feeling at different points in the book. We had a go at labelling a scene from the story with how the characters felt.

·         In Maths this week the Reception children have been working on recognising and describing 2D shapes. They also had a go at making simple patterns using the shapes. The Y1 children have been working on capacity, comparing different sized containers and working out how much water they can contain.

·         In our topic work this week we have been looking at some old toys. We talked about what they looked like, felt like and how they worked. In science we looked at a variety of toys and talked about whether we needed to push or pull them to make them move.
