The boys have had a fun and productive week…
During Literacy and Understanding the World, we listened to the story ‘Noah’s Ark’. The boys loved watching the animals enter the ark and being safe from the flood. Their wonderful writing about Noah’s Ark will be displayed in class, alongside their sewing and paintings.
The boys were fascinated learning about rain and rainbows and how they are formed. They enjoyed painting their own rainbows. We also have a class ‘puddle’, which we are going to watch to see if it evaporates!
During Music they boys performed a teddy song to their teddies:
In Maths we have been learning about subtraction:
For the Maths homework activity, could you please practise counting back from 20. After this, use dice to subtract numbers. Throw two dice, start with the biggest number and subtract the smaller number using your fingers. To extend this beyond 6, use one of your laminated number cards, roll the die and subtract using your fingers. Please comment on this blog post to say how you got on. Have fun!
The new theme for show and tell is: Please bring in a picture of what you are curious about or an example of how you have shown your curiosity. The Starboys for next week are as follows:
Monday: Patrick- A picture of your family during the Christmas holidays
Tuesday: Zachary- A picture of your family during the Christmas holidays
Wednesday: Aarav
Thursday: Alistair
Friday: Antonio
The weekly challenge for next week is: Line up smartly and quietly with your hands by your side.
Have a super weekend!

Dear Mrs Starkey
Denis enjoyed thinking of a number, then throwing two dice and adding them all together. It helped using Numicon.
Kind regards
Koray
Excellent work. Well done, Denis!
Mrs Starkey 🙂
