Number bond work

Have a look at the photos of us learning our number bonds to 10.  Some of us worked in the hall playing a game matching numicon pieces to 10 and making an addition number sentences.  Some of us have use a website called conker maths to apply our knowledge of number bonds to 10 using word problems and some of us worked outside finding different ways to use the numicon to make 10.

Special visitors

This week we have enjoyed a special visit from a class mum and her new baby.  We were able to ask lost of questions about baby's routines and what happens when you visit a real baby clinic. We used this information in our science work when we looked at how we grow and develop over time.  Thank you so much to mum and baby we all loved meeting you both especially when Mrs Longhawn got a cuddle with baby! .

Investigating using our senses

We have been using our sense of taste, touch and hearing to investigate this week.  The taste group were very brave tasting 4 different foods,  They predicted what they would taste like and then tasted the food to see if the actual taste matched their prediction.  The children also completed a touch walk where they used their feet to experience and name different textures.  To test out their sense of hearing children played a listening game identifying familiar street sounds.  I hope you all had lots of fun.  In a few weeks time we will be using our senses to write poetry.

VCOP superheroes

This week we have met all the VCOP superheroes.


 

The children used the super hero masks to help them improve a sentence by using the super hero powers.  We also used the fizz books for the first time to play on the Roy the Zebra website that helps us punctuate sentences correctly.

Try this addition game

Try out this addition game with an Egyptian theme and let me know how you get on.  Click on the mummy to start.

Super maths work

This week in maths we have been looking at adding and subtracting.  The group working with
Mrs Longhawn used counters to help us work out the number sentence.  We learnt that it was important to move the counters with our fingers as we count to make sure that we are accurate and don't count the same counter more than once or miss one out.  Some children were starting to use a number line to ass numbers within 30.  Excellent work everyone.

What is the best way to wash your hands???????

This week in science we have been conducting our first investigation.  We wanted to find out the best way to get rid of germs from our hands when we wash them.  We tested cold water, warm water no soap and warm water with soap.  The children all made a prediction with lots going for the soap option because "it would wash away the germs" and some children thinking that cold water would work best "because it would freeze the germs off."

Have a look at the pictures to see our "germ" covered hands and how we got on washing them.

Can you tell me what method worked best to wash our hands????

Computer suite fun

On Friday we visited the computer suite for the first time.  Our learning target was to log on independently which most of us were able to manage.  This was fantastic for our first visit.  Once we logged on we explored the textease drawing package.  I am looking forward to our next visit, lets see who can remember how to log on.
