This week Otters have been letting their lights as we moved onto subtraction in our maths work. This tricky concept was embraced by all as we used pictures of people on a bus, then counted passengers getting off, to then work out and how many were left. The children then wrote their own number sentences to represent this.

Otters have been enjoying the first bit of sun for a long time today. We used the water trays to fill, pour and empty a variety of containers exploring the language around full, empty and half full. We tried an tested lots of different pipes and containers to see which would hold the most then to finish we gave our dinosaurs a bath!

Hedgehogs lights are shining so brightly at the moment. We are so proud of how hard they are working and the amazing progress they are all making. We've had another great week, highlights this week include making observational sketches of sunflowers, enjoying two great PE lessons, discovering the lifecycle of a bean, writing about Jack and the Beanstalk and solving some really tricky multiplication and division problems. We've also been practicing our counting in twos, fives and tens and we are just loving our class book Fantastic Mr Fox, we can't wait to read more chapters next week!

Wow! Squirrels have really enjoyed their RE day today.
We are learning all about Easter week and the importance of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. The children thought about what they would like to be forgiven for and stuck it onto our classroom cross. We then learnt all about The Last Supper and had some brilliant discussions about how the disciples and Jesus would feel. The children worked in groups to act out The Last Supper and we came together to celebrate The Passover.
In the afternoon we completed our Easter art linked to Good Friday. We used oil pastels to create some wonderful pieces of art.
I think the children have had a brilliant day!
Since we have been back together..

We have had the best week all back together again as Otters. It has been a pleasure to watch everyone’s lights shining so brightly in all areas of their learning. We have been investigating our egg discovery and using some excellent describing skills to produce some super sentences. We have also made our own Diplodocus dinosaurs. In maths, we have been using Numicon to make number bonds to 10.
