Wow! What an amazing week we've had in Caterpillar Class!

We've been trying super hard in English this week working on our fantasy story. We looked at the film 'Finding Nemo' to help us think of the setting, the characters and the adventure for our own story. We then wrote our own story, using a beginning, middle and end, with an adventure in the middle of the story. Miss Smith, Mrs Beck and Miss Carter were very impressed with how well we had worked!

We have also been trying hard in Maths, looking at place value in 2 digit numbers. We used a tens and units sheet to help us add and subtract numbers. We then looked at recognising place in value in different forms, such as number cards and using numicon. 



We have started our new topic this half term, which is the seaside! We discussed what we already know about the seaside and what we would like to find out. 
We also looked at floating and sinking. We tested out lots of differents objects in a tank of water, and discussed why they floated or sunk. We then made our own boats to test out!
