We returned to school for a very busy week. We learnt about the celebration of Chinese New Year. We made lucky envelopes, learnt how to write Chinese numbers and tried using chopsticks. We also learnt about the story about how the years are associated with different animals.

We also has a visit from a local author and enjoyed hearing her story and working with her afterwards.

We braved the weather and enjoyed a muddy time in the woodland. We saw lots of frogspawn and thoroughly enjoyed jumping in the puddles on the way back to class.

On Friday it was our first PE lesson and we loved it! We found out how to find a space and move round the hall safely.

This week we have been learning about space. We started by thinking about what we would need if we were travelling into space. We made a rocket in our role play and we have been enjoying going to the moon. We also found out that in space there is no gravity so things float about. We watched a video of how you drink water in space; it was very different from on earth.

In maths we have been learning to say what is one more or one less than a number to 10. We also practised using our sentence starter - I can show this by.....

In phonics we have been learning to read longer words by 'chunking' them into smaller parts then putting them back together. E.g. car / pet - carpet.
