ART

This half term we are looking at nature for inspiration for our art work. Last week we sketched some leaves, fir cones, branches and berries that we found in the forest area and this week we modelled our findings using Plasticine. We practiced making marks in the Plasticine. Next week we are going to use clay. 

Telling the time- outdoors!!!

This week we are learning to tell the time. We are learning to tell o clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times. We went outside and drew chalk clocks on the playground and then we drew the hands to show different times. It was great fun and we learned lots about clocks. 

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to the second half term. We hope you all had a lovely half term break and got to see some fireworks. 
This half term we will be continue to read books by Julia Donaldson. We will be reading 'Postman Bear' and finding out about real life bears and writing our own information texts. If you have time, why not see what you can find out about bears at home on the internet or from books in the library. 
In Maths, we will be learning about telling the time and carrying on with our times tables. 
In Science we will be thinking about the effect heating and cooling has on materials.
It won;t be long and we will be starting to rehearse for our Christmas play- 'Christmas Around the World' (we will write with more details soon!) 
Here's to a fun and productive half term.
