Usng ICT to sort objects

We have been using our numeracy skills to sort objects. We talked about what makes an animal, then we sorted pictures on the computer into 2 groups. We used our ICT skills to share ideas using picture and word banks.

Treasure Hunt!

We used our communication skills to decode text and find simple information. We answered the questions as a group and found the treasure! We have been practising how to count on.

PESS - making shapes and creating sequences

We have been practising the 8 basic shapes in gym. We had fun moving as a frog and a fox!

We used our thinking skills to identify what worked and what we need to improve next time.

Naming parts of the face and body

We've been labelling parts of the face and body. We had fun playing 'Simon Says' too! We communicated our ideas about parts of the body with our talking partners with increasing confidence.

We've been using numbers

We've been learning to count in tens. We've also been adding two numbers together. We've been using numbers in practical situations.

Rhyming Words

We read the stories 'Pat the Cat' and'Jen the Hen'. We have been reading and spelling lots of rhyming words. We used our thinking skills to identify what we have learned.

Using numbers!

We had fun finding numbers up to 20 and putting them in the correct order.

We used our thinking skills to link our learning to other situations.
