This week we have been reading the book of Leaf Man. The pictures were all made with leaves. We went for a walk in the playground and woodland area collecting leaves and seeds and returned to make our own pictures. We also used the leaves to make rubbings and talked about the colours we saw.

In the classroom, we made a farm shop and enjoyed playing the roles of both the shop keeper and the customer. We recognised lots of different vegetables but couldn't name a parsnip, but we did know it came in soup and stews!

We learnt ck, e, u and r in phonics this week. We are getting much better at blending sounds together when reading the word cards.

In maths we have been showing our counting abilities, and remembering that we have to count each thing once and not to miss any out.
