Times flies when you're having fun!

The past couple of weeks in Green Class the children have been very busy learning about our new topic 'water'. We have investigated parts of a boat and how they work, explored our local environment to look for ponds, rivers and canals, learnt how canals work and have discovered lots of fascinating creatures that have adapted to live in different aquatic environments. We have also created lots of art work linked to water, such as recreating 'Waterlily Pond' by Monet and exploring shape and texture with paint.

In maths we have been developing our knowledge of number facts, place value, times tables and money. This has been lots of fun and the children are making great progress! In English we have explored books linked to our topic, such as: 'There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea', 'Bright Stanley' and 'Commotion in the Ocean'. We have also looked at non-fiction texts and wrote our own instructions on how to make a delicious sandwich!

The first half term has been so much fun that it has flown by! We hope you have a lovely half term and look forward to seeing you all soon to continue with our summer term :)
