This week as artists we have drawn our buildings in readiness to start building them next week. To add additional detail we used charcoal, we agreed they all looked amazing.
In our maths work, we have been looking at the composition of 5 and learning our number bonds. We used a part-part-whole model to represent the different ways of making 5.
As scientists, we have been trying to free the penguins from the ice using tweezers and watching the different states of ice as it turned to water slowly throughout the day. We also enjoyed exploring our new light box an creating snowflakes using the gems.
In our phonics and written work we have started looking at the set 2 sounds 'ay''ee' 'igh' 'ow' 'oo' and 'oo' and using these sounds to write our Fred sentences. We have also used our amazing building pictures and written a description of what our building looks like.
This weeks poetry basket poem was 'Let's put on our mittens' ask your child to see if they can recite it for you.

What an amazing start to our new topic we have had today. We all really enjoyed our WOW starter which consisted of us becoming inventors and designing something that could help us at school. Otters worked really hard and created their own designs for a robot before building it as a group together. They then formed part of a whole school machine to create a final WOW!

On Monday, the children shared their Take away homework from our study theme – ‘Timeline’. It was lovely to hear the children moving around the classrooms reading and exploring the different tasks, which had been completed over the course of this last half term. Well done everyone, for the fabulous learning, which has taken place this half term. It was fantastic to see everyone 'let their light shine' in some of their favourite curriculum areas.

This week in Otters Class we found a chrysalis in our outside garden which prompted lots of questions of what could be inside. We have explored lots of Autumnal objects from acorns and conkers to pumpkins and squash and used them to make repeating patterns in our maths work. We have used peg boards to strengthen our fine motor skills and continuing with our topic focus this week we have looked at what a family tree is and who is in our family. Well done Otters
