WINTER

Winter
We have begun to look at a new topic this week - Winter.

We have read the story Here Comes Jack Frost by Kazuno Kohara. 



We then tried to remember what happened in the story and draw our favourite parts.
 


Jack Frost took the little boy's hat off.

I like the little boy and the dog. Jack Frost comes from Winter.

The boy and Jack Frost had a snowball fight.

They were playing.

I like the dog. I liked when they built a snowman.
We have also been making snowflakes for our Winter display.

RMcCabe - Autumn


Last week the children were learning about Autumn changes. They created repeating patterns and dens for hibernating animals. They also explored problem solving, colour mixing and observational drawing.




In maths we have been exploring different ways to make 10. First we practised accurately counting to 10 then we split them in different ways. The children linked these two groups to the Numicon pieces and began to match number bonds using the Numicon to see how the shapes fit to make the same total. Some children verbally described their findings as number sentences.


Red group took their investigations further and recorded the different ways that they made 10 in number sentences.


 The children have done really well problem solving independently. They created a shape using 5 cubes, then created 4 more shapes in different ways. Everyone worked with resilience, even though the cubes were quite difficult to put together, and everyone succeeded!



Just look at this fantastic observational drawing of Autumn leaves!
