The Enormous Turnip




This week we have continued our farm theme, with a focus on the traditional tale “The Enormous Turnip”. We have had the chance to look closely at some real root vegetables and have created some fantastic observational drawings. Some of us have used our excellent literacy skills to label our drawings. We have also made our own little books based on the story of The Enormous Turnip.




In maths, we have explored the weights of different vegetables, measuring them to compare which ones are the heaviest.
 

We have been investigating different foods and we have talked about special meals that we have with our families. Can you remember a special time with your family? What family customs and routines do you have? We would welcome any Wow! moments talking about these.






Caterpillars have been singing the rhyme “Oats and Beans and Barley Grow” and listening carefully to which words rhyme. We have thought of other words that rhyme with know and grow. Can you remember any?


Next week we will be beginning a Sea theme, starting with the story “Sally and the Limpet” and the rhyme “A Sailor went to Sea Sea Sea”.
