Our learning this week – 29th January 2015

This week Ben and Betty have been teaching us the letter sound “n”. We read the story “Spike’s Best Nest”.

We had a visit from a bird called Tweety who left us a letter to say his nest had blown away in the wind. The children wrote letters back to Tweety to say how they were going to help him.
We did the “Merry Go Round” dance in Write Dance and had to make circular movements with our bodies. .

We explored the Numicon shapes in lots of creative ways this week. We pressed the Numicon into playdough and we printed with the Numicon shapes.

We also went number fishing and tried hard to recognise which number was on the fish. We sang “1,2,3,4,5, once I caught a fish alive”

We watched a video of a robin building a nest. We talked about what he had used to build a nest. We then used twigs, leaves and grass to make a new nest for Tweety. He even sent us a video message saying thank you and telling us how much he liked the nests we had made for him. Hopefully Tweety will visit us again soon.

We talked about how Spike was feeling in the story “Spike’s Best Nest”. He was grumpy, tired, sad and then happy, which gave us lots to talk about.

We drew a nest and some children even included eggs.

We made a newspaper collage of a letter “n”.

We did the “Straight, Bent, Cross, Happy” dance in Write Dance and had to make contrasting movements with our bodies to match the music.

As well as our daily Welsh board, we have been practicing our Welsh numbers with lots of number rhymes. Encourage your child to count in Welsh at home.

Don’t forget, school inset day on Friday 30^th January.

See you on Monday.

Have a good weekend.
