                           This week we have been learning...

In English we began looking at the story 'How To Catch A Star' by Oliver Jeffers. We looked at the story and what happened and then we had a go at sequencing the story ourselves. We also made a start at writing our instructions of how to make star biscuits, we have written the ingredients so far but we are very excited to make them! 

In Maths we did have been looking at subtraction within 20 by using tens frames and number lines to help us get our answers.

In P.E we started our gymnastics topic. We had lots of fun stretching and moving around in different ways, we also learnt how to do a tuck roll and a log roll safely. We then challenged ourselves to perform jumps from various apparatus. 

In DT we made a moving mechanism with wheels and axels out of paper and card, we tried to improve our design to see if they would move more smoothly. Next week we will design our own.
