Summer Term
Week commencing 28th April
We have started the summer term thinking about the question, ‘I wonder what’s living in the garden?’. We firstly explored different items and decided if they were living or non-living, such as plants, minibeasts, cars and bubbles. We moved on to exploring plants. We learnt what the different parts of a plant are called, and the job of each of the parts. We enjoyed exploring different flowers and identifying the different parts we could see. On Friday we thought about seeds, and what they need to grow. We worked together to identify that they needed soil, water, sunlight and time for them to grow, before planting our own seeds.
In our Literacy lessons we have been exploring the book, The Bog Baby. We were given a character description of the Bog Baby and used play dough and loose parts to create our own - without actually seeing the book!
In Maths we have been practising counting larger quantities. We have explored how to count things that can be moved, and thing that cannot be moved. We learnt different strategies to help us to count.
