Athletics

It was great to see the sun today and we made the most of it outside practising some of our athletics skills.

Here we are practising our 'shot put' throws using a soft ball.

We had to learn how to stand, how to point to where we are aiming, and what position our throwing arm was in.

          Here are some photos of us in action!

An interesting visit!

We had an interesting visitor to Room 2 this morning. Can you guess who it is?

It's Niko in his Halloween costume!

todays maths puzzle

For maths today we had to match different number patterns together to make a puzzle.

Day time / Night time

During Play Based Learning some of the children read a book about day time and night time.  After they had read the story they drew a picture explaining day time and night time.

Guess who?

Dress up fun!

Reading Logs

Did you know that when we have finished a reading log, we get a very special surprise?  Miss Whysall comes over and gives a certificate and 2 prizes from her very special Elmo bag.  Keep reading Room 2 and 3!!!!

Today in maths we got together with our buddies to order numbers to 20. We all did a great job!

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!!!!

Uh Oh, it was a wet and rainy day today!  No outside play for us.  We tried singing the song "Rain, Rain, Go away" but it didn't work.

Writing

In writing we are learning to ........

1) Use fingerspaces
2) Put a fullstop at the end of our sentence
3) Use our ABC card to help us with our writing
4) Hear the sounds in words

You can help us learn this at home!

Tuesday Maths Fun!

One of our Maths activities today was making patterns using the pattern cards and cubes.  Some of the patterns were trickier than others.  Can you find some patterns in your home?

At the teaching table with Miss West, the children were learning about finding the missing number!

Here we are practicing writing numbers on the whiteboards.

Fun with fans!

During Play Based Learning we got hot!  We talked about ways to keep cool.  Someone suggested fans so we decided to make some.  It was quite tricky folding them the right way but we didn't give up.  

Play Based Learning Fun!!
