This week in Wheatgrass Class...

      -In literacy this week we have read the story ‘Elmer’, about a multi-coloured elephant! We described what he looked like and what he felt during the story before writing a character profile.
 -In maths this week the Reception children have been working on recognising and describing 2D shapes. We also had a go at making some repeating shape patterns. The year one children have been working on comparing and measuring the length and weight of different objects.
 -In our topic work this week we have started our new science topic of sound. We went on a sound walk around school to see how many different sounds we could hear. We also introduced our new topic of Africa, locating it on a map and deciding what we wanted to find out about Africa this term. 

Moving pictures

In art we made some moving pictures based on the story 'Lost and Found.' We all worked really hard and they look fantastic!
