Our theme for Summer 1 is If we go down to the woods today...

Week 1

We hope that you all had a lovely Easter break! This week our theme has been 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson. In English, we have been reminding ourselves how to write independently and practicing using our capital letters, finger spaces and full stops our sentences. We have enjoyed acting out the story, learning the Gruffalo song and writing character descriptions. In maths, we have been learning to count in 2's, 5's and 10's. We are getting really good at this! On Friday we had an art day! We enjoyed painting pictures of the Gruffalo, using natural objects to create our gruffalo's and creating woods images inside a leaf in the style of Lorenzo Duran. For diamond time we had a birthday party for Miss Crawford. What a busy week!
