Mrs Dodge - On Safari week 1

 On Safari

This week we have explored Africa and been on a Safari to see the animals in their habitat.

In Literacy we have read the story ‘Handa’s Surprise’. We pretended to be Handa and wrote a letter to her friend called Akeyo. We enjoyed acting out the story using masks. We also thought about what we would pack on such a hot holiday away. 

In Numeracy, we have completed some problem solving with our tangerines. We tried to share out a number (sometimes it it was fair and sometimes it wasn’t!) and then thought about what the problems were asking us to do - add or take away. We also ordered our numbers from smallest to biggest and ordered some fruit from the heaviest to the lightest.

In the afternoon we have loved going on a Safari in our role play, made animal pictures on the iPads and did some observational drawings of fruit we saw in the story. We also tried some of the fruit at the end of the week.

On Friday we tasted some fruit from our story. We tried a pineapple, mango, orange, banana, passion fruit and avocado. We were pleasantly surprised and found some new favourites!

We have started to practise some sports day activities with Mr Toyne too...
