This week we were treated to more snow, resulting in lots of snowmen and huge snowballs!

In Understanding the World, the boys learnt how snow is made and we experimented with melting ice. ‘Evil Pea’, from the story ‘Supertato’ had being causing havoc in the Reception classrooms, freezing a dinosaur in ice! We explored how ice is formed and the best methods to rescue the dinosaur- heat! 

 

In Literacy, the boys wrote ‘Wanted Posters’ for ‘Evil Pea’. They also made Super Veg:

This week during maths we have combined addition and subtraction. The boys have been distinguishing between the + and – symbols. They enjoyed reading number sentences and correcting the incorrect answers.
