Spring 1 Term
At the start of this term we looked at all things cold…brrrr! We investigated Jack Frost and what it means for something to be frozen…can you remember what ice is made of? What does ice turn back into when it is melted?
We thought about what we would need to warm us up after a day out in the cold and we even wrote down a list!
We then came into school one day and had a note left by Jack Frost and we wrote all about it!

For the last few weeks, we have been enjoying learning all about some of our favourite things … SUPER HEROES! We had a special visit from a naughty character who left us the lovely story of ‘There is a Super Hero in your book’ by Tom Fletcher. We have been thinking about all the qualities a super hero has. We think that there may be some super heroes hiding in our school or at home?
We have been writing lists of our favourite superheroes with all of our Phonetic sounds that we know. This week we have written about a power we would like to have too.

For mental health week next week, we have really focused on how we feel about certain things and the impact that our decisions/choices have on the people around us. We have been reminding ourselves that it is just as important to be kind to ourselves, as it is to be kind to others!
In Maths, we have all been trying really hard with our number formation. We have also been continuing to explore the composition of numbers and have started to investigate doubling and comparing quantities. We are slowly introducing the concept of number bonds to 5 hoping to move onto number bonds of 10 next term!

We have enjoyed making our own super heroes using a variety of resources, such as masks and lolly stick heroes. We even had to help save some superheroes using our fine motor skills who were tied up by the scribbler!

We love the outdoor area and have been using our thinking caps to create lots of different things, we love to build ramps and bridges for getting across lava or water and even rollercoasters for cars!

Today we concluded our amazing theme of Superheroes and term, by dressing up as our favourite superheroes! We had a range of outfits from Hulk Smash to Lady Bird! We have taken lots of pictures which will be flying home soon! ????
We cannot wait to see what Spring 2 has in store for us! Have a lovely half-term everyone.
