We have acted out the lifecycle of a frog and then created it using playdough and labelled it by writing on the tables!

This week we have been using our counting skills to find one more than a number. Miss Southern set us a challenge to find all the dominoes that showed one more. We almost blew her socks off!

This week we have been reading ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr. We thought it was very funny when the tiger couldn’t stop eating and ate everything in Sophie’s house! We wrote a shopping list for Sophie’s mum, drew some pictures to answer questions about the text, sequenced the story and we hot seated the tiger. A very busy morning in Puffins!

This morning we loved being able to ask Mrs Forshaw questions about Lizzy our very own school reptile. We have been learning all about animals in Science and enjoyed having the opportunity to ask questions and touch and hold her. We used information books to find out even more facts.

We played a whole class game today. Mrs Lenagan held up some objects and if we had a card that represented the number we had to come to the front. We also had to move to music and find all our friend that had the same number of objects they were representing. We blew our Teacher’s socks off! How many ways can you think to represent and amount of objects?

We joined Dove Class today to share our letters back to the Crayons from our story. We listened to some children perform their letter too. The Puffin Class were captivated!

This morning we listened to the Dove Class read us The Day the Crayons Quit which is our whole school book focus and we helped by holding up the crayon characters. Once the children went back to their class we got into our groups and produced freeze frames for the different characters and acted them out on the outdoor stage. Can you guess who we were?
