Spring Term 1 - Week 5

English: 

This week we have celebrated National Story Telling week and have taken part in lots of wonderful activities. We began by sharing a selection of story telling games in small groups, learning about the way that verbally told stories change over time. We then began to create our own characters from stories and used wonderful vocabulary when describing them. 

Maths:

This week children have continued to think about numbers within 50. They have begun using their knowledge of comparison to think about language such as greater, less than and equal to. Children have also experienced using inequality symbols to compare. 

Story telling event:

This week a number of children chose to stay at school to celebrate National Story Telling Week by taking part in our event; Books are Magical. Children were encouraged to dress up as a magical story character. We shared a selection of magical books such as Room on the Broom and began to create our own mythical potions.
