week ending 12th June 2015

This week we have been reading all about the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. The children have been creating their own version of this by changing the word 'ate' to some more interesting adjectives and changing the food. So far the caterpillar has been demolishing, devouring and slurping his way through the week! They have also been practising their spellings for days of the week and number names. In maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shape sin more detail and beginning to describe the features of these. We have specifically looked at how many faces, vertices and edges 3D shapes have. How many 2D and 3D shapes can you spot in the environment? The children had a lovely day at Gressenhall and were able to relate lots of their 'Buildings' topic work to the activities they took part in. The whole school took part in a filmed Welly Beat dance today, which was organised by Slanted Dance and on Friday we will be starting our last design & technology project of the year. Phonics checks for all Year One children start next week, so please practise these are much as possible at home.
