What we have been learning about this week .....
Nursery:
This week the children have continued their learning of Bears by finishing the story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. The children were so excited to find out what was in the cave. They have also sequenced the story. Sequencing helps the children to order the story in which events take place using pictures, focusing on the beginning, middle and end.
In maths we have been learning about the 2D shapes circle, triangle and rectangle and exploring these shapes in our provision. We will be building on this next week when we learn all about 3D shapes.
Reception:
This week we have been continuing our topic around the Farm. We went to Packington farm and had an amazing time learning all about the different animals. We learnt about free range eggs, harvest combiners, tractors and where milk comes from. The adults were really impressed with our behaviour and manners! In Maths, we have been exploring adding and had a go at writing a number sentence for this.

This week Year 1 have been writing our own stories based on the book 'Jehvon Goes to Jamaica' We have been very impressed with their creative ideas! In maths the children have been learning to share amounts into equal groups, and in Geography we have been learning about the weather in Jamaica and comparing it to England! We have really enjoyed taking part in the Mary procession this afternoon.

This week in Year 2, we have finished our learning about time and have been practising telling the time to 5-minute intervals. We have found this a little tricky, so please help us to practise at home.

Finally, we ended our week by discovering the seeds inside different foods and enjoyed laying our flowers for Mary.
