Congratulations to the Year R Stars of the Week!

Our story this week is Jasper’s Beanstalk, and we worked collaboratively on our art to create a class beanstalk in each class!

We drew careful drawings of the caterpillars.

 

We enjoyed learning to scoot.

This week we have been finding out about caterpillars.  We have caterpillars in our classrooms and have enjoyed watching them grow bigger and bigger!

We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and drew some posters to describe what the caterpillar looks like. We also wrote shopping lists of food that he might eat to help him grow.

In Maths we have been describing and copying patterns. We also created our own beautiful butterflies using loose parts.

In maths this week we have been looking at different ways to make six. We used counters and a special template called a ‘ten frame’ to help us to see and describe the parts, for example ‘six is made of three and three’.

We have been inspired by the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ to design and write about a trap to catch the giant! We’ve also been building giant castles.

Now that the weather is warmer, we have been learning about what plants need to grow and have been busy panting seeds. I wonder what they will grow into?
