Our first week back

It's been an exciting week this week working on our new book 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.

We have planted magic beans inside and outside and we are seeing if they'll grow into a lovely beanstalk.

We also spoken about what would be at the top of our beanstalk. We've had Chocolate World, Dora the Explorer Land and a sweet shop.

I like the sound of a chocolate world! What would you and your family have at the top of their beanstalk?






We've also used our magic beans to learn about doubling and halving. Can you double these numbers?

3 =
6 =
2 =
4 =

Can you halve these?

6 =
4 =
8 =
2 =

Do you know what you would do if you had 5 cupcakes to halve?

Here is a clue as to what we'll be looking at next week:


 

Well this term certainly has flown by and in doing so, I apologise for the lack of blogs. We have been very busy looking at Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Chinese New Year, including getting ready for our Chinese New Year assembly. Thank you to those of you that were able to make it. We are always so pleased at how many people come to support the children.

We also started a new role-play area this term, which is a sports shop. Many of our children have enjoyed golf and tennis when they've been free choosing using real equipment and the sports shop changing room to make sure they are wearing the appropriate clothing.

As some of our children expressed an interest in Space, we decided we would also look at this topic. We've planned and built rockets, we've had races to the moon and we've written about where we would like to go if we were astronauts.

Please feel free to pop in any time if you would like to have a look around the classroom with your child and they can show you what they've been learning.

Miss Pembroke and I hope you have a lovely holiday and look forward to hearing about what you get up to when you get back. Please feel free to write on the blog or email us pictures and/or messages about what you've been doing at sunflowerchatsworth@gmail.com.

Unfortunately we cannot reply to this address but we can print out what is sent and add it to your child's learning journey.
