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!!
