Wow! What a super week we've had in Caterpillar Class this week! 

In English we have been using speech bubbles to tell the story of The Enormous Turnip. We used a picture from the story and had to add in the speech bubbles. At the end of the week, we then wrote a traditional fairy tale from memory! We used stories like The Gingerbread Man, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs.

In Maths, we have been looking at halving and quartering numbers. We then had to solve problems using half and quarters. For example;

There were 24 cows in a field. Half of them moved away, how many are left?

We also used paper, straws and string to find half in centimeters. We had to measure something to a certain amount and then find half and cut it in half exactly.

In Topic, we have been busy looking at different types of plants. We learnt how to use a search engine such as Google to search for pictures of the different flowers we had been learning about. 

We also designed our own garden, either drawing or cutting and sticking pictures. 

We loved working with Miss Smith, planting some seeds and bulbs, and getting really messy hands!!

Caterpillar Class have had a fantastic first week back after the Easter Holidays!

In English, we have been reading the story The Enormous Turnip. We then wrote sentences to match the pictures that were stuck in our book. We had to remember all our punctuation, such as full stops and capital letters!

Then on Thursday we wrote our own version of The Enormous Turnip. We could change the turnip into any fruit or vegetable and we changed all the different characters! We used lots of super heroes and TV characters in our stories!

In Maths, we have been looking at different number patterns. We had to help Odd Bob and Even Steven investigate whether different number patterns had odd or even numbers in them. For example, we counted in 5's to 50 and found out that there are the same number of even numbers as odd numbers in the number pattern. We made very good investigators!

Our new topic is all about plants and growing. We looked at different plants and the parts of a plant. We found it a little tricky remembering all the different names but we had a really good go! 

We also did some observational drawings and made our own garden!
