People who help us

This week we have been:

Learning about people who help us in the supermarket. We have been pretending we are buying food in a supermarket, exploring money and writing shopping lists. We have also been singing and reading the song pat-a-cake. We have been making cakes in the roleplay and at the playdough table. 

In math’s this week we have been learning about the numbers that we see on coins and how many pennies each can is worth. We have been looking at 1p, 2p, 5p, and 10p coins. We have also been learning about the number 6. 

In science this week we have been exploring push and pull. We watched kit and pup and then explored push and pull in the class and outside. What can you push and pull at home?

In RE this week we have been learning about remembrance. We have been making a class wreath and making our own poppies. We watched a special video that helped us understand what the war was like.

This week have started thinking about Road safety. It’s very important to get the children thinking about being safe when they near the road and when they are out and about. We know we need to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before we cross the road. We need to hold hands, use zebra crossings if we can and to wear our seat belts when we are in the car. We will continue this learning over this year. Please watch this videos at home!
