This week in Rowan’s class the children have started the new topic of On the Beach. In phonics the children have been learning all about the +th sound. In colourful semantics the children have been constructing sentences to describe action scenes. In maths some of the children have explored number bonds to 5 whilst others have practiced taking away from a number. In science we explored rain, ice and water. The children completed an experiment to observe what would happen to the ice when we placed it on a plate above a jug of hot water. The children loved watching it rain as the iced melted. In geography the children listened to the story of Somebody Swallowed Stanley which was a story about a plastic bag in the sea. The children then explored a water tuff tray to see what objects they could find and if they needed to be recycled or put in the bin.
