This week we have been learning about mini beasts.
We have enjoyed holding stick insects and a giant snail. We talked about how they looked and what they felt like.
"slimy" "hard shell" "tickly" "wiggly" " soft" "slippy"
We played guessing games, using language we have learned to give clues about the mystery mini beast.
We learned that insects have 6 legs. We made our own insects with 6 legs.
We had lots of fun making our own stick insects with the help of our Year 5 buddies.
We made symmetrical butterfly patterns.
We worked on our drop and dragging skills using the lap tops to make symmetrical butterflies. You can try at home if you would like:-
Our number work included jumping back and forwards on a large chalk number line to think about adding and taking away. What number will we land on if we start at 7 and jump on 2 more? What about if we jump back 1?
Making towers using blocks to make the right height.
Over the half term holiday, you could take your stick insect out and about with you and take a photo of him in different places with your child. We will be displaying these photos in the classroom.
Please could you make sure your child has a named sun hat. The sun is finally making an appearance and for safety's sake, the children need to keep their heads covered.
Have a wonderful half term holiday!
