Celebration of Learning in F2

The children had so much fun celebrating our expedition and revealing our final product. We brought the seaside to us and invited our parents. Everyone spoke really clearly, showed our beautiful work, sang, played music and danced. We even had a little jam sandwich picnic- just like at the seaside. So many parents said how lovely it was and we are all so proud of our children. What a great way to celebrate together! We look forward to seeing the amazing stickers, the children created, around the community on your blue bins!

If all sponsorship forms and money (cash) can be handed in by Friday 5th July please! .

Thanks a lot,

Where is the treasure?

In maths this week we are continuing to solve problems using direction and number bonds. The children had to read the clues and follow the directions. When they had found where the treasure was, there was another clue. Using 10 frames and their knowledge of number bonds, they had to solve the problem for the pirate.

Rishaa was confident at giving directions and tried to help her friends by drawing the directions as they moved. She realised that it depended which way you were facing for left and right and kept turning the paper round. She then realised that forwards and backwards didn’t match left and right!

Creating treasure maps

As part of our celebration of learning next week, the children have created treasure maps. They then voted for the three they thought were the best to be used in a game. These were our competition winners. Well done girls.

Travelling around the Land of Nod

Today in maths we used lots of directional words and position words. The children were able to use forwards, backwards and sideways. Some of the children are competent at using left and right.

We moved around the different places in the story.

The Land of Nod Map

We put the pictures from the story onto the right place on our giant floor map. We used above, below, to the side, right and left. We asked the children to stand on one place in the map and follow our directions. We used left, right, forwards and backwards to get to different parts of The Land of Nod.

Super writers!

I am so proud of our phonics group today. They worked so hard on sitting properly, holding their pencils, sitting their letters on the lines and starting from the right place. They even spelled some words correctly and wrote them beautifully! They have been working hard and getting smart!

Mermaid maths

In our story this week, the mermaid was running out of time. It started with ten minutes and on each page a minute passed. We used our cubes on the carpet to represent the minutes passing. We could see the minutes that had passed on the floor and the minutes that were left in our hands. We saw our number bonds to ten and the subtraction facts that go with it. We loved seeing the patterns and some of us knew the numbers because we can remember our number bonds to ten, without having to count. After that, in provision, some awesome mathematicians wrote down what we had found out.
