Week 5

A short week this week but we still packed in lots of learning.

In maths we have been ordering numbers up to 10, 20 and 30 as well as developing our subitizing skills.

During our Chromebook buddy session we had loads of fun creating animations using FlipaClip. I saw animations including of different themes ranging from the gruffalo to an exploding volcano! Super creative work everyone.

A fantastic Gruffalo animation!

As part of our topic this term we have spent the last two weeks focusing on The Gruffalo. We have been retelling the story, sequencing the main events, developing our use of descriptive language to describe the different characters and even learning the gruffalo song in Makaton.

On Friday we had a go at making Gruffalo crumble, building a logpile house and creating some of the characters using play dough.

Here we are doing the gruffalo song in Makaton, this required lots of concentration to sing and sign at the same time.

We were developing ball skills in gym on Wednesday using control and accuracy to throw and catch the ball as well as exploring different ways of ‘trapping’ the ball using different body parts.

We enjoyed listening to another round of Show and Tell on Friday and had a chance to develop our questioning skills trying to come up with new things to ask.
