In Communication, Language and Literacy we have been reading the story of 'Elmer' and we can also put the pictures from the story in the right order to help us retell it.
Continuing on from looking at 'Elmer' we have also been making lots of elephants in many different ways. We have drawn elephants, painted elephants, collaged elephants and even used some of our construction area resources to make an elephant! Some of us made Elmer Day elephants (where all of the elephants paint themselves different colours) as well as grey elephants. We have even painted and collaged two really big Elmers - come inside and see them! We all had great fun making them!
In Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy we have been thinking about more and less. So far we have thought about which group has more objects in it (for example, 4 tigers and 6 elephants... there are less tigers than elephants). Then we really challenged ourselves by trying to calculate what one more or less than a number was. We even began thinking about what is one more than 1563!
Our highlight of this week has been our NSPCC Sponsored event. For this we chose to walk around the playground as many times as possible. We managed to walk around not just once, not even twice... but 15 times! We were all very proud of ourselves. here are some pictures of our sponsored walk.
We have all had a great week this week at school and we are really looking forward to next week when we can learn and explore more about Elmer and maybe even look at some other adventures.
