In Lion Class this week we have been learning:

English

• We focused on the fairytale  ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’
• We sequenced the events of the story and described the beginning, middle and end.
• We drew story maps to show what happened in the story and discussed what our favourite part was.
• We thought about which character from the story we would be and wrote sentences using thw word 'because' to explain why we would want to be that character. 

Maths

• We started to look at number and subitising.
• We looked at different dice patterns and how we knew what each pattern represented.
• We described the similarities and differences between different amounts of objects.
• We drew different ways to make a variety of numbers.
• We used tens frames to show a number of different ways we can represent a number.
• We then had to explain how we knew the tens frames represented the number

Topic

• We were lucky enough to visit our school allotment on Wednesday, where we planted bulbs and looked at the progress of the planting we had carried out last year.
• We labelled the different parts of a plant.
• We practised our throwing and catching skills.
• We created art based around Jack and the Beanstalk using photos of ourselves as inspiration!

Phonics

• Recap 'igh' (fly high)
• Recap ow (blow the snow)
