We have had yet another exciting and busy week!

We have been reading the story Oliver’s Vegetables this week. We started by trying different fruits and vegetables and talking about our favourites and why. The kiwi fruit was a firm favourite with most of the children.

We have also been preparing our vegetable patch outside with the help of Mrs Miles. We welcome all parent helpers, so please let us know if you would like to come and help.

From the taste testing experience, the children completed some guided writing and wrote some fantastic sentences.

In maths this week we have been focusing on weighing and started looking at data. On Monday the children created a pictogram to show Willow’s favourite fruit. The children weighed different objects, making predictions, discussing size and investigating how we can make things balanced. We also made some cookies  using the weighing scales!

Thank you for all of those who attended our last helicopter session. We hope you found the training useful and enjoyed the sessions. For those of you who couldn’t make it and would like to find out more about helicopter stories please feel free to come and speak to us so we can tell you all about it! Here are some photos of the children’s brilliant helicopter stories.

On Thursday it was World book day. The children looked fantastic as their favourite book characters and we had a lovely day dressing up. We also had a story time in the afternoon where the children shared some of their favourite stories with children from other year groups.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.
