This week in Numeracy we have been adding by counting on. We used number lines and hundred squares. Please ask your child to tell you how Max helped us with our counting. We then used our ability to count in tens to help us to add multiples of ten. We found it helpful to use ten pence pieces to help us.

In Literacy we have had great fun being storytellers using different props. In 1MB we have a storytelling chair and a cloak. We used actions to help us remember the story (please ask your child to show you the ones they can remember). We have also drawn story maps for ‘The Gingerbread Man.’       

We have been investigating what force makes rockets fly, and learning why some things fall down. In small groups we were exploring gravity by dropping different objects from the same height then answering the question ‘What happens when we drop a heavy and a light object?’

N.B. We have Norland Nannies coming to work with us after the Easter holiday and will give you more details then.
