This week we celebrated World Book Day. The boys had lots of fun being dressed up in their costumes and pyjamas. They boys took part lots of literacy activities. This included decorating their class door to look like the gingerbread house from the story Hansel and Gretel. We also started to film a news report which is going to be compiled with other reports from other classes. At the end of the day the boys enjoyed a visit from an author where they learnt about authors and illustrators as well as receiving a complimentary book.
Half of RS took part in Welly Time. They made their own hedgehogs using sticks and seeds found outside:
In Maths the boys learnt about halving. They halved numbers and shapes. The boys discovered that you can only halve even numbers if you want to halve the number into whole numbers. We looked at odd and even numbers and counted in twos.
The Maths activity this week is as follows:
Please use the game below: Press the ‘Halves’ button to start and select ‘Halves to 10’. If you want to progress further then move onto the next level. You can use objects to work out the answers, for example: half of 10, count out 10 objects, you can then use the method ‘one for me, one for you’ method to find half. Have fun!

Reiss used some sticks to understand the concept of halving and was able to share the sticks equally with mum. We then alternated between halving and doubling which he found a bit tricky.
Harvey loves the games! He was reluctant at first but once he realised he could do it he was happy. He is halving and doubling all the time!
Well done Harvey and Reiss.
