This week in Team CH we have continued to identify and name a variety of everyday materials. We then discussed different properties of a material and how a material is chosen for an object based on its properties. We discussed how it would be no good for wellies to be made from paper as it was not waterproof and all our feet would get wet and how it would be no could for reading glasses to be made from wood as we would not be able to see through them! We then learnt the names of key properties and what these key properties meant using MTYT. Our activity was to sort the bag of objects into the sorting circles based on the properties in each sorting circle.

This week team CH have been talking about the pants rule and how this rule can help keep themselves and others safe.
We started our learning with the introduction of Pantosaurus. A character that helped us learn the PANTS rules. We talked about each step in the PANTS rule.
After going through these steps and allowing children the time to talk about each step we listened to the Pantosaurus song to further embed the message of “What’s in your pants belong only to you”. Finally, the children designed their own pants. Team CH are working incredibly hard within Literacy. We have explored the suffix ‘s’ and spent time practising making a singular word plural. Additionally, we are now holding a sentence that includes a capital letter, finger spaces, the suffix ‘s’ and a full stop. We are so proud of our writing!
This week we have been developing our cardinal counting skills, while still counting for an ordinal purpose. Each table were given a bowl of cereal, children worked as groups to discover who had the greater amount. Finally, we compared out total amounts and talked about who had the least or greatest amount We have loved being up an active in our counting! Practicing ordinal counting each day has really helped us in becoming familiar with the flow, sound and sequence of numbers. Additionally, we have become confident in counting in multiples of 2, 5s and 10s. Team CH revisited couniting forwards and backwards with 100 using our Gattegno charts. We were able match the number names to the correct digits. We have become really confident in linking the number name with the digits that represent them.
This week team CH explored the technology that is all around us, we talked about how we use technology regularly throughout our daily lifes. Next, we searched our classroom for objects that we classify as technology and spent time talking about how these objects help us.
This week in Team CH we have been learning to identify a variety of everyday materials. We started our learning by listening to a fun song about different materials. Next, we looked at and named different objects and we were able to identify the materials they were made from. As a class, we discussed the different properties off wood, metal, plastic and glass. As we accessed provision, we were challenged to think what the object we had chosen from was made of and how we knew (based on their properties).
Today Team CH explored a special story to Christians and Jews. Our story is based on the Bible story of Noah and the ark. In this second part of our story Noah is told by God to find two of every kind of animal. This session included searching and travelling, as we help Noah look for animals to go into the ark. The animals enter the ark and
the rain begins. Children remember their happy dance from last time. Then, with a partner, theyshow the different animals entering the ark. Finally, our children had the opportunity to continue there learning within our provision and were provided with plenty of talk time to discuss the learning further with their peers or an adult. Team CH just love being creative, espcially when it involves Mrs Fichett. As part of our Art learning the children have been creating prints of repeating patterns to replicate those natural patterns found in our local area.
In this session, the class began a new unit of writing based on our text driver The highway Rat. This was shared with the class as part of an exciting hook. The highway Rat paid a visit to our class room and had taken our fruit! After sharing the text, the audience and purpose for writing was established. Children were clear that the focus for this unit of writing would be to be able to Form lower case correctly in the correct direction, starting and finishing in the right place. During this lesson, the focus of learning was centred around using inference skills to suggest what is happening or may happen within the story.
