We also enjoyed the story Stickman, another delightful tale by Julia Donaldson, and used it as inspiration for our story writing and crafting. We gathered a collection of sticks to create stick people and used various craft materials to give them fabulous makeovers, resulting in some wonderfully jazzy stick folk!
In phonics, we have been learning the digraphs ‘ee’ and ‘or,’ focusing carefully on words containing these sounds.
In maths this week, we explored ‘estimation,’ practising how to make sensible guesses and playing lots of fun estimation games. We also reviewed the concepts of one more and one less than a given number, using number fans and number lines to record our answers. We have also been using the five frames with double sided counters to play games showing composition and number bonds to 5.
Next week, our topic will be… Christmas!
