Language, Literacy & Communication
This week Ben and Betty have been teaching us the letter sound “x”. We read “Fox’s Socks” by Julia Donaldson, where fox finally found his socks in the toybox and the jack in the box. We were good at listening for the “x” sounds and the end of the words. We practiced writing w by playing noughts and crosses – have a go at home. We practised our writing this week writing an invitation to our class assembly. |
Mathematical Development
We practised recognising the Numicon shapes this week and our challenge was to fit the Numicon shapes into an X shape. We also explored the Numicon by building towers with the shapes and pegs.

Knowledge and Understanding of the World
We looked at real x-ray pictures and tried to guess what parts of the body they were from.
We cooked “x marks the spot” biscuits as a treat using chocolate chip cookies to make an x shape on them.

Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We talked about keeping our teeth nice and healthy as we had the Designed to Smile team come into school to give those children who had consent their magic sparkles (fluoride coating). |

Creative Development
We made x-ray painting by painting with white paint on black paper. We also made x-ray pictures of our hands using talc and cotton buds. We listened to and tried singing along to the skeleton song.
