Many thanks to all of the adults who took part in our celebration event. All of the children took home their star biscuit with their wish on the tag and their Diwali lamp to bring light into their lives.

Well done F2. Everyone was really engaged in their writing. Most children remembered to use first, next, then, after that and finally like we did in the re-telling of our visit.
In maths we have been using positional words and have used them in our model making. We have created bridges to help us cross the river.
We used the puppets to practice positional language and to describe to our friends where the puppet was.
We have also been practising months of the year and how they match to the seasons.
We have been practising our fine motor skills! We have used the fiber optic strands to thread bobbins and used our cutting skills to make snips in paper to create fireworks. We used pipe cleaners, cheerios and play dough to make spiders! Perhaps you can try some of these activities at home?

This is the recount of the visit. Click on the links to watch the videos of us performing our recount. The children have tried really hard.
This week we are learning about 3D shapes. We have been on shape treasure hunts inside and outside. We have been building with 3D shapes and deciding which ones are the best for building. We have learnt lots of new words.
curved, flat, vertices, apex, edge, face, surface
Faces are flat.
Surfaces are curved.
Vertices are where 2 or more edges meet.
An apex is a special kind of vertex at the top of a cone.
We have learnt to name the shapes too – cone, cube, cuboid, sphere and cylinder.
This is what the shapes look like.
Ideas for home learning
What shapes can you find at home?
Can you make a jungle animal using 3D shapes?
Play “I spy with my little eye a shape that has…..”
Please send us photos of your home learning.
Yesterday F2 and helpers visited the Wildlife Park. Despite lots of rain, the children were very well behaved and we saw lots of animals.
We found some interesting facts.
Meerkats eat crickets.
Lemurs have a queen and not a king and the one at the Wildlife Park is called Bumble.
Giraffes have a tongue that moves round in a circle to pull leaves off sticks.
Zebras are black with white stripes to stop them getting sun burnt.
