Under the sea

Following on from our topic of the Rainbow fish, this week we have been learning all about under the sea animals, we have wrote facts about our favourite sea animals and have drawn pictures. We did some research on how to look after the sea and we designed a poster on how to protect the sea by not putting rubbish in it and using less plastic.

In Phonics we have been re capping our sounds, going over our high frequency words, writing letters to the Rainbow fish, telling the fish what we think of her. We have also been looking at pictures and stories and predicting what we think will happen.

In Maths we have been recapping number bonds, odd and even numbers, number formation and solving word problems.

It has been super hot this week so we have kept ourselves safe by staying in the shade, enjoying lots of water play and keeping hydrated.
