We have been using the scales to identify heavy and light.
We used random items the children collected in the classroom, made our own predictions and then weighed them on the scales.

We then looked at various numbers and discussed if we thought that amount of items would weigh more or less in comparison to the other number. The children were amazing at identifying the greater and smaller numbers. We then counted out the correct amount of items (or numicon) and weighed them to see if we were right.

Amazing predictions and weighing 🌟

We have loved celebrating and learning all about the King’s Coronation this week 👑🤴

This week someone came into our classroom, trashed it and stole our pirate ship! They also left a letter with some clues. We had to read the clues in order to find our pirate ship!

We then created our own wanted posters to help the police find the evil Pirate Blackbeard.

This half term our new topic is pirates! The children have come up with everything they would like to know about pirates and we are going to start finding out all of the facts.

As the week went out, we watched some videos on pirates and did some research. Look at the amazing facts we found out.

We have had so much fun this week with lots of Easter/Spring activities.

Our caterpillars have made their cocoons ready to become butterflies!!

This week we found an odd looking beanstalk in our classroom. The children thought our caterpillars had planted it whilst we were at home. Someone even thought Godzilla would be at the top of it!

We then read ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and realised it had came from magic beans!!

We planted our own magic beans, added water and then put them in direct sunlight and we are now waiting for them to begin to grow.

We designed and built our own beanstalks and we also experimented with different patterns and textures using runner beans and paint.

This week we have been exploring odd and even numbers. We know that an even number can be made into a pair and an odd number cannot. To find out if a number is odd or even, we sorted socks into pairs. We also looked at numicon, we discovered that an odd number will have an odd one out on top but an even number will be flat.

This week we had some very special guests. CATERPILLARS.🐛

We are going to be taking care of the caterpillars and observing the changes they make whilst they are on their way to becoming butterflies.

Each day we observe the caterpillars and write about how they are changing. We can’t wait until they become beautiful butterflies!
