We were also excited to have started a gripping new read – ‘The First Case’ by Ulf Nilsson. The children have been desperate to find out what will happen next in the story and who indeed has stolen poor Squirrel’s nut supply!
In our English lesson, we wrote sentences about what we enjoyed on our walk, focusing on capital letters, full stops and neat, careful handwriting. The children are trying very hard to use cursive letter formation in their independent writing and to be noticed for our weekly ‘Perfect Presentation’ award!
In maths, the children have been comparing numbers, focusing on counting accurately, as well as using mathematical language, such as ‘greater than’, ‘fewer than’ and ‘equal to’. The children were introduced to the symbols < and >. We have been using the greater than, less than crocodiles to help us with this learning – they like to gobble up the bigger number with their wide, open jaws. Next week we will learn how to use these symbols in equations.
