Maths~6,7,8
We have been focusing on the numbers 6,7 and 8 this week. We have been searching and creating different representations for these numbers and learning about the composition of these numbers. We used dominoes to count each part and then find out the whole before matching to the correct numeral.
Literacy~ Finger Spaces
We have been learning about finger spaces this week and have practised using them in our writing. We picked pictures and wrote captions on whiteboards making sure that we had finger spaces between each word.
UTW~ The Ice Experiment
We were scientists this week and decided to conduct an experiment. We talked about how ice is made and held an ice cube to describe what it felt like. Mrs M gave us each an ice cube in a cup and challenged us to see if we could get it to melt within 1 hour. Lots of the Acorns used different methods. Some used warm water, some put it on the radiator and some held the ice cube do it could melt in our hands. We discovered that heat melts ice cube the quickest!
Bird Enrichment day
On Thursday, we joined up with Oak and Ash class to take part in a bird enrichment day celebrating RSPB’s Big Schools Birdwatch. We learnt about British birds, watched live cam bird feeders, went bird watching around the school grounds, made bird masks and created bird feeders. What a fun day!
