HANSEL AND GRETEL

This week we read the story of Hansel and Gretel.

We acted it out, made gingerbread houses and made maps of the story.

In maths we have started trying to work out word problems, for example 'If Miss Lucie buys 5 apples at the shop but drops 2 on the floor, how many apples has she got left?' We are beginning to record these problems using number sentences.

The weather was very unpredictable this week, we had some very warm sunny weather and some cold wet weather too. We have been noticing the changes that this brings to our garden. Look at the enormous piece of ice that we found!

We continue to add to our letters and sounds in Phonics and are beginning to learn the names of the letters as well as the sounds that they make. This week we added v/j/w to our collection and the words no/go/my.

We have been learning the Nursery Rhyme 'There was an old lady who swallowed a fly' click below to hear it.

And we have been building up our arm muscles by dancing to YMCA
