Today in class we practiced grammar with a twist.

The children worked in small groups to answer a range of grammar questions whilst one of the group was secretly a ‘traitor’ trying to fool them by choosing the incorrect answer.

This week, we have been creating poems based around Norse mythology.

The children explored the classroom adding noun phrases, similes and metaphors relating to each animal, object, setting or character.

They then took those ideas and used them to form their poems.

Practising our subitising skills in class this week. We are rolling a dice, recognising the number then circling the corresponding dots on a piece of paper.  The children are loving this already.  

This week we have started our new book ‘Naughty Bus’. We have explored some of the famous landmarks in London as part of our work.  The children have loved taking this into provision and building their own versions.
