    The Arctic

    From high above to below we are now looking at the coldest place on Earth. The children have been learning the names of animals who live there and what the weather is like. Using their own hand prints the children made penguins.

    The letters of my name

    Posted by Mrs L Jesters
    Today the children were challenged with a writing activity. In order to make their rocket they needed to find the letters of their names and place them in the correct order. To use this the children were able to use their name tags from the feelings board. This helped them recognise what letters they needed and listened to the sounds from their name.
