Wow! What a super week Caterpillar Class have had!

In English, we wrote our very own seed packets! First we wrote a list of all the information you would need on a seed packet. Then we used that list to write out our very own seed packet. We even wrote how much the seed packet cost and drew a barcode!

In Maths, we have been looking at how to add one and two digit numbers together using number lines and 100 squares. When adding a tens number, we looked at jumping down on a 100 square. 
We even tried adding two two digit numbers together using a 100 square. 
When using a 100 square, we looked at partitioning the numbers. For example, when working out 
40 + 17; we would partition 17 into 10 and 7. We would then add on the 10, then add on the 7.

We've had a super busy week in topic! 
We learnt all about the different climates around the world; we looked at Tropical, Temperate, and Mediterranean. We then looked at different gardens within the different climates and looked at how different they are compared to gardens in England. 
We have still been looking at plants, and we looked at the plants we planted last week. Some of them have started growing very well. 


We looked at our greenhouses as well!


We also made a clay pot, rolling out the clay and placing them on top of each other to make the pot shape.
