Happy Half Term




Hello again everyone. 

On Wednesday afternoon for a treat, we had biscuits and squash on the carpet to celebrate half term.
We all wore the alien hats we made in topic.














Have a lovely and safe half term.

Transport




Hi Everyone!

This week as part of our topic on travel and transport we have had a visit from Cohen's dad who is a member of the Royal Air Force and works with aeroplanes.

He spoke to us about his job and how he fixes aeroplanes.























He let us try a flying helmet on. It was very heavy and very tight fitting.  














We also had a visit from Buzz Lightyear!  This was part of our learning about space travel and was very exciting!  We have also made our own planets and astronauts and we've been writing about Neil Armstrong - the man who landed on the moon.



Congratulations to everyone who has been enjoying our Reading Challenge.  Remember you only have to read 5 times in a week to get entered into the Prize Draw each week.  There is a fantastic prize of a book for the child who is chosen from draw - so why not have a go - it's so easy AND you become a better reader as well!




Roxanne is doing the Reading Challenge and she has improved so much with her reading that she read the story to the class on Thursday with Mrs Young!

All you have to do is read to an adult and get them to date and sign your reading record book.  We count up the number of reads every Thursday - good luck!

Maths



Hi Everyone,

This week we have been learning to add and subtract using a number line.  We have to remember to count carefully using our fingers and we need to look carefully at whether we need to add or subtract to find the answer.





Maleka and Brooke worked hard to solve their subtraction problems.



ll



Martin and Finley counted backwards carefully along their number lines to find the answers.












Arwen really concentrated and got lots of questions answered.  Well done Arwen!





Mrs Ball's group worked outside with a giant number line. They worked hard to jump backwards to find the answers.

Well done Beetles Class

We also got On Time Turtle AGAIN!

Teddy Bear's Picnic

Our Teddy Bear's Picnic



This week we had our fantastic Teddy Bear's Picnic.  We had to work hard on Monday afternoon to get all the food ready for the picnic!

We made jam sandwiches and iced our own buns - it was quite a sticky job!


We then went out into the sunshine and enjoyed our picnic with our favourite teddy or soft toy.


We then went on our own bear hunt around the playground.  A giant teddy bear joined us and even brought us treats.








Well done Beetles class we won On Time Turtle again!!











See you next week
