Our Orange Week!

Hello,

This week our learning has been around the colour orange. 

Some of the things we have really enjoyed have been:

• Learning a song - how to spell orange
• Making our own shades of orange
• Making fish, foxes and giraffes out of handprints
• Bringing in orange things from home
• Painting and printing with oranges
• Our special orange treat! (because we got our 30th marble!)
• We loved doing a flower experiment - putting food colouring in the water and watching to see if the flowers change colour.

In English we have been making lists and poems. We will be continuing with poetry next week. We also wrote a letter to the orange crayon from the story 'The Day the Crayons Quit'. We really liked the story!

In Maths we have been finding patterns and different combinations. We found out how many different combinations we could make with a flag. We also read a story 'Orange, pear, apple bear' and thought of all the different combinations we could think of.

This week we started our own phonics groups. Some of us go into Beech class, some of us go into the garden room and some of us stay in Oak class. 

In Gym this week we have been doing rolls, this week was an egg roll! We really enjoyed practising these on the mats in the hall. 

We have also enjoyed our assemblies this week, we had a special visitor who did some fun activities with us.

This weeks star award has gone to Ethan for always being a good listener. Well done Ethan!

Plop, our learning owl is flying home with Brooke, because Brooke has persevered and has done some amazing writing. Well done Brooke!

Reminders:

Next week from Tuesday to Friday Year One will be having work shadowing, if you haven't already, please sign up for the morning. We look forward to seeing you there and showing you what we get up to in year one.

Have a lovely weekend!

Love Oak Class
