We have learnt the last set of single sounds this week in phonics: v,w,x and y. On Tuesday to help us to learn the ‘w’ sound, we had our winter welly walk around the village where we looked for signs of winter and used a spotter sheet as well as making a tally of the vehicles we saw. We came back to school for waffles which was a lovely treat. Thank you to the parents who came along to help.
This week we have been focusing on road vehicles and have had lots of interesting and unusual types of transport brought in the show the children. This has included a Morris Minor, a vintage tractor, a camper van, a Dutch cargo bike and a big van. We have continued to learn about measuring in maths and have been measuring our feet with cubes, using ramps for cars and measuring the distance and we also measured the big van and tractor wheels with meter sticks.
Thank you so much to those who brought in the vehicles, they provided an excellent experience for the children.
The children have enjoyed working with a partner to carry out an ice investigation. They had to think of ways to get the car out of the ice. We had some great team work and lots of good ideas such as using water, scraping and smashing the ice and one child suggested we need to warm it up so it melts.
We have also enjoyed listening to the first groups of children present their show and tell about a recent journey they have been on. They have been on some very exciting journeys and its been lovely to hear about them.
Next week we will be making boats and trying to get them to float. If you have any margarine tubs then please can you wash them out and bring them in for next week.
