Indian Summer Time

What a glorious week it has been and we all have our fingers crossed that the weather stays like this for the weekend.

In Numeracy this week we have been naming the teen numbers, matching numbers to repeating patterns and using the language of addition. We have continued to count on and back to 30.

In Literacy we have been continuing with poetry. We have matched words to images using a word bank. 'The pineapple smells sweet, the orange feels smooth.' Everyone was great at performing the poem 'Popcorn'. We wrote our own structured poems about food.

Part of our Letters and Sounds has been to read words containing adjacent consonants: crisp, frost, thank, slept, blend and glint.

Science was fun today as we worked in house groups to begin to make a class height chart. We measured each other using a length of tape and next week we'll compare height with eye colour.

We have had a very musical week too! Our song of the week was 'I've got a grumpy face'. We also sang songs and performed with instruments that were linked to different sounds. We made lots of different sounds with our hands.

Enjoy the sunshine :-)
