This week we have been continuing with our topic ‘World of Ice’ with the story ‘Stella Queen of the Snow” by Marie Louise Gay. Stella has a rather inquisitive brother who asks lots questions such as “do birds have goosebumps?” “what does a snowman eat?” We have been coming up with answers to these questions. We became scientist by learning all about why ‘fog’ comes out of your mouth when it is cold. We wrote on mirrors and windows using our fog breath. Ask us to show you at home!
We became a real life ice skater with own imaginary skating boots. We glided and skated around our skating rink listening to music. Have a look at the pictures below. Did you know it snowed in our classroom!? We described the texture of the snow and how it felt and looked.
In Maths, we have been counting beyond 10. We counted objects and used marks to represent the amount. As our story this week is all about snow, we have been making snowballs, having snowball fights and checking which team has the most snowballs by counting them. We have also been counting how many snowballs we can pick up in 20 seconds.
In phonics we have learnt some new sounds:
air er ure
We used these sounds to make words:
Hair, stairs, chair, air, pepper, letter, flower, mixer, pure, cure, secure, manure
Examples of sentences to read and write:
