This week we have continued to enjoy lots of festive activities. We started the week listening to the story ‘We’re Going on a Elf Chase’ and we have enjoyed listening to lots of different Christmas stories throughout the week such as ‘The Nutcracker’, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ and ‘We’re Going on a Present Hunt’. Our learning activities have included getting creative and making a stable with baby Jesus, writing Christmas cards to send to our friends and in our funky fingers area we have been practising our cutting skills by cutting along different shaped lines! We have also been busy finishing our cards and calendars which we hope that you like! On Monday afternoon, we held a Christmas Craft afternoon and it was lovely to see so many grown-ups come along and craft alongside their child! The children thoroughly enjoyed having their special people in school to enjoy the festive activities with them. We hope you enjoyed it too. On Wednesday afternoon we had our Christmas party in our classroom – oh, what fun we had! We started our party by tucking into our delicious party food at dinner time we had – a sandwich, pizza slice, sausage roll, cucumber, pepper, carrot sticks and a chocolate bun! When we got back into class we dove straight into our party games. We played pass the parcel, musical statues and then we sat in a circle and in the middle of the circle were cups with Freddo’s in. We had to bounce or throw the ball into the cup to win our cup for juice and our Freddo! Our was successful and we persevered until we had got the ball in. We ended our party by sitting down with juice and popcorn and watching ‘Stickman’. In Literacy, Year 1’s started the week holding and writing a sentence. On Wednesday they compose their own sentence about Zog and on Thursday they presented it to Team CH. In Maths, our Year 1 children have been recapping this terms’ learning through fun Christmas activities – we have counted objects, filled in missing numbers and used the equality and inequality symbols to compare numbers within 100. Our Reception children have represented 4 in different ways on a die frame, used their fingers to represent 6 as ‘5 and a bit’, used double dice frames to represent 6 as 5 and 1 more and seen that 5 and ‘2 more’ make 7. In Geography, to conclude our learning on “What’s it like in different parts of the UK?”, we began by identifying the different continents that the United Kingdom and Mexico lie on. We then moved on to comparing the similarities and differences between Tocuaro and Wombwell. We looked at the population of each place, discussed the weather and then looked at the human and physical features!
We have also talked about our route to the nature reserve and we have used the following direction words: down, through, across and up.
