We have reached the halfway point of this term and the children have again been stars this week! We have had another fabulous week in Team Indigo and Team Royal.

Many thanks for the wonderful maths related clothes the children wore for Number Day this week. They all looked fabulous!

Maths

In maths this week, we have been finding half of a number. We started with the whole number (e.g. 10) and then split 10 objects in to 2 equal groups to find that half of 10 is 5. On Friday, we had a special maths lesson as it was Number Day. We read the story 1 is a snail and 10 is a crab. This is a story where you learn about how many legs different animals have. Some of the children did activities involving ordering and some children looked at ways they could make different numbers (e.g. to make 10 they could have used an insect which has 6 legs and a dog which has 4 legs). We had great fun on Number Day!

Topic

This week, we have been learning about the difference between fiction (story) books and non-fiction (fact) books. We have done some amazing writing this week about the different parts of a flower. We have also learned about the artist Vincent Van Gogh. We looked at his sunflower painting and then had a go at creating our own. They look fabulous!
