In space
This week in Cherry class we have been learning all about space. The children have been immersed in the learning and have loved finding out new and interesting facts by reading and listening to stories, exploring videos and images and through their play.
They have been using role play to go on space adventures in the small world and in our role play area which has been a space station. The have been using appropriate vocabulary such as "comets and meteor showers".
The children have been writing within their play, creating space passports and making maps of space.
The children have been very creative this week- they have been using printing to print planets, stars and they have also used their cutting skills to create astronauts and space pictures. Lots of children made rockets out of junk modelling and explained how they made them.
In phonics this week we learnt the sounds "er and air". They have been reading longer words such as 'ladder, better, carrot' They have also learnt the tricky words 'pure, sure and all'
In Maths we have been continuing to learn about subtraction. They have been interpreting and solving subtraction number sentences using concrete resources.
