Step into Week 5 with us...
The story of the Week was " Jack in the Beanstalk". We studied the letter sound J for Jack. Jordy, Joe and Jaz were put on the sound tree. The children made their own beanstalks with castles at the top of them just like they heard in the story. The children joined in every time to the chorus " Fe Fi Fo Fum'. It's always exciting when we meet new characters just like the big and scary Giant.
In mathematics, the children received their own bag of magic jellybeans and sorted them into their colours.We then looked at the concepts more than and less than. The activity helped the children think about if their number is greater than or smaller than another number. Working with numbers can be fun and yummy!
Don't forget our real life beans! We are watering them and watching them grow every week. We hope they grow nice and tall. The children listened to a story called the 'Lucky Seed' on the interactive whiteboard. They learnt all the things they needed to look after their plant; sun, water and soil. Ask your child about the buffalo in the story and they will tell you why the seed was very lucky.
Later on in the week we looked at the letter sound " V' for vase and volcanoes. The most exciting part of our week was when we made ERUPTING VOLCANOES! what a blast the children had.
TEAMWORK!!! building mountains together.
