Our learning 

Phonics-

During phonics we are now practicing holding a sentence in our heads, the children have done very well considering it is their first time. 

We also learnt ea-cup of tea. 

Writing for Pleasure-

We finished our books about plants this week. The children did very well at remembering their sentences and they drew beautiful illustrations. 

Maths- 

We continued to look at numbers to 20 and we even tried counting up to 50. Some of the children did very well and they even recited the 10 times tables to me!

The big picture- 

This week we read the story 'The tiny seed' by Eric Carle. We looked at how he made his pictures for the books and then tried to make our own. We started off by making patterned paper and then cut the different shapes we needed. The children assembled their pieces together and make their finished product. 

Wisley Gardens- 

The children had a great time at Wisley Gardens and loved learning about the different parts of a plant and which parts we eat. For example, Broccoli is the flower, carrots are the roots, broad beans are the seeds, rhubarb is the stalk.
