Chilly Builders!

We had a lovely afternoon today during our choosing time! We were exploring some mystery objects, building houses, selling houses in the estate agents, creating images in play dough and learning about houses from the past from our library books. Some of us went outside into our construction site too... it was pretty chilly outside so we kept topping up with some 'warm tea', which looked suspiciously like water! Here are the boys admiring their handy work!

A Lovely Winter Walk...

You can tell by our smiling faces in this picture, and the general buzz around the classroom, that we enjoyed our walk today! We saw lots of things that will help us with our topic! We learnt about different types of houses; detached, semi-detached, terrace, flats and bungalows and tried to spot these along the way!

Thank you to all the grown ups who helped us on our trip :) 

Amazing Poems!

Happiness

Happiness sounds like children playing loudly,

Happiness smells like fish fingers,

Happiness feels like my teddy at home,

Happiness tastes like chocolate cookies.

Kacey

Happiness looks like a bunch of flowers, 

Happiness sounds like birds tweeting, 

Happiness smells like roast dinner,

Happiness feels like my new slippers, 

Happiness tastes like sweeties. 

Grace

Happiness looks like rainbow flowers,

Happiness smells like a sausage roll, 

Happiness feels like my teddy,

Happiness tastes like sweetcorn, 

Happiness sounds like playing with friends.

Shaye

Happiness sounds like gummy bear, 

Happiness smells like fish and chips,

Happiness feels like cuddling my teddies.

Drew

Happiness looks like a swimming pool, 

Happiness sounds like birds,

Happiness smells like a flapjack,

Happiness tastes like ice-cream,

Happiness feels like my mummy.

Gracie

Happiness looks like my family, 

Happiness sounds like children laughing, 

Happiness smells like roast dinner, 

Happiness feels like my onsie, 

Happiness tastes like broccoli.

Happy New Year!

We had a lovely day back at school today. Everyone came in with lots of exciting stories from the holidays that they enjoyed sharing with us and their friends.

We started the term as we mean to go on today... working hard and being the best that we can be! We began our Literacy topic of Poetry and today we were learning all about our five senses! We will be thinking about how we can use our senses to explore objects around us and how we can incorporate this into our writing.

In Numeracy today we explored the 100 square, looking how it all fits together and reminding ourselves of the value of tens and units. We will spend time this week looking at patterns and how the 100 square fits together.


Our new topic 'Houses and Homes' is set to be an exciting topic, we have lots of exciting things planned! We will find out what we already know tomorrow, and what we want to find out more about in our topic time! Keep checking the blog to find out what we are learning about!

Here is a website we will be looking at to find out what houses used to be like...get ready to take a Step Back in Time!!!
