The topic for this term is Animal Adventures and the theme for last two weeks has been Mad About Minibeasts. The class story that we have been reading is The Very Lazy Ladybird. We have explored this book using colourful semantics to create sentences and used pictures from the book to sequence the story. In maths we have completed lots of ladybird counting activities and we have related the number of dots to numerals. We have also made ladybirds using 2D shapes. In science we have labelled a ladybird, sorted insects into categories of legs and no legs. In art we have created a ladybird collage with a stained glass effect. In geography we have been learning about people who help us and who we would need in certain situations. We have also been learning how to sign these jobs using Makaton.
