Hawkstone update

This week the children were very excited to see all the snow that had fallen. We took the opportunity to explore the snow and spoke about the seasons. The children enjoyed feeling the snow and making snowmen. The children also looked at non-fiction books and started writing their own non-fiction book all about people who help us. Earlier in the week we explored our outdoor area and used magnifying glasses to see plants that grow in the wild during winter. We will look again at this in the spring and summer to observe the changes. This half term we are talking about our feelings and thinking about the feelings of others. We read the story ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ by Carol McCloud. We made kindness buckets and spoke about all the kind things that we can do for others and how this might make others feel. In maths the children have explored the composition of numbers 7 and 8.  Next week we will begin to look at doubling numbers. The children will also continue to write about people who help us and add pages to our non-fiction books. We will also find out about the Chinese New Year and how this is celebrated. Well done for another fantastic week children!

 

Hawkstone Update

Hawkstone class have had a busy week exploring our topic of ‘People Who Help Us’. This week the children enjoyed listening to the story of The Jolly Postman and thinking about all the things a postal worker might deliver to our homes. The children have enjoyed writing postcards, letters and cards and wrapping parcels, as well as aiming to get a parcel onto the correct target. We have also enjoyed planting a bean plant and the children have been checking on them each day for signs of growth. Next week we will be continuing our learning of people who help us and we will look at how police officers, firefighters and paramedics help us. The children will also explore the composition of the number 8. Well done for another great week Hawkstone class!
