This week we enjoyed celebrating World Book Day! The children came dressed in wonderful outfits and enjoyed sharing these with their friends!
After an exciting assembly, we returned to class and split into three groups to read books about colour!
Group 1 worked with Miss Leeman and continued with 'The Day the Crayons Quit'
Group 2 worked with Mrs Slater and read 'Mouse Paint'
Groups 3 worked with Mrs Warrington to read 'The Rainbow Fish'.
After reading the activity the children enjoyed exploring a range of colour based activities;
- Can you create your own rainbow fish?
- Can you write about your favourite colour crayon?
- Can you explore the paint and mix the colours?

In Maths we have continued to learn about shapes. We can
- name 2D shapes- square, triangle, rectangle, circle, hexagon
- talk about the properties of 2D shapes- "A square has 4 sides"
- name 3D shapes- cube, cuboid, cylinder, cone, sphere
- talk about the properties of a 3D shape- "A cube has 6 square faces"
- tell you the difference between a 2D and 3D shape- "a 2D shape is flat and a 3D shape is solid"
In the Maths Area Miss Leeman placed a variety of sound buttons and shapes on the tuff spot. Miss Leeman had recorded messages/clues on the sound buttons and the children had to match the clue to the correct shape.
