We've had a super busy week learning our new topic! We have been learning the different groups of animals; Mammals, Birds, Fish, Reptiles, Amphibians and Insects. We then used watercolors to paint a picture of a fish, we had to try and group all the different animals into their correct classification from memory and make some animal masks. 

Wow!! We've had a very busy week in Caterpillar Class.

We've been doing lots of acting in English! We looked at a Jack and The Beanstalk play and had to act out the parts of Jack, Mum, the Giant, and even the cow! It was a lot of fun, but a little bit tricky remembering all those lines!

We were amazing actors!

In Maths, we have been learning to tell the time. We've been looking at our daily routine and what time we wake up, go to school, have lunch ect. We have tried really hard to learn to tell the time. 

What a busy week in Topic! We had a very exciting afternoon on Wednesday! We all got to dress up as Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses and Knights. We then went into the hall for a Royal Banquet! It was lots of fun and we felt very royal with all our teachers serving our food and drink!

We all wore our crowns or helmets, and used our goblets to drink from. 

We even had a Jester at our Royal Banquet!

We ended our banquet with a Royal Dance!

We've had a super busy week in Caterpillar Class!

In Maths, we have been looking at number sentences, and the different ways we can write them. For example, we could write the number sentence; 4+3=7, 4 different ways...

4+3=7

3+4=7

7-4=3

7-3=4

Remembering learn one, know three!!!

In Maths, we learn about place value. We had to decide whether it was tens or a units number, and how many tens were in the number we picked up. We found it tricky at first, but worked hard and could do it straight away by the end of the week!

We've been busy in Topic learning all about Castles! We looked at what a castle is, who lived they and how they lived. It was very interesting learning all about the dungeons, the battlements, and the moat!
