We have started our new topic of Growing, which the boys are very excited by. The boys planted their own broad bean seeds. We learnt about the life cycle of a bean, and what a bean needs to grow. The boys followed the steps to plant their beans really well. They carefully placed the soil in the cup, made a hole, dropped the bean in, and covered the bean with soil. The boys are patiently waiting for their beans to grow. We also wrote our first entry into our bean diaries.
During Literacy we listened to the story, ‘Jasper’s Beanstalk’. The boys retold the story and their fantastic work is up on display in the classroom.
The boys really enjoyed PE this week, playing lots of games in order to develop their physical skills. 
During Art, the boys looked at various flowers such as, daffodils, tulips and roses and drew their own variety of flowers using colouring pencils. RY class produced some fantastic drawings!
During Maths, we have we have been learning our number bonds to 10 and 20!

For the Maths activity this week, can you please look at this song and practice your number bonds. To extend this further, you can compare this to 20 by looking at the ‘ones’ in the number e.g. 4+6=10 and 14+6=20.
