In our handwriting lesson, we talked about ascenders (stretching up to the sky) and descenders (stretching down to the ground) and practised forming some very careful ds and gs. The children are trying very hard to use this 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 >, and next week we will learn how to use them in equations. 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.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
