 This week for letterjoin we printed out some Christmassy themed words to copy and trace!

We made some paper decorations for the tree using a printout from Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam's latest story.




 

We've done a christmas word search, christmas crossword, christmas riddles...Christmas activities!

We played mini table tennis in the living room.


 

At Communigrow we learned about how birds have different shaped beaks to help them eat their favourite foods. We looked around the field to see what food there is for the birds to eat over the winter and what sorts of food we can put out for them. We tried to see what birds there were to know what they might like but they were all sensibly tucked away while we got chilly! We made some feeders for them by putting peanut butter on a stick and rolling it in seeds, we also used the screwdriver to put a screw through a bit of wood to put an apple on to take home for birds in the garden.




 

Vin made a bookmark and a thank you note.


 

We played on an advent calendar on the computer , doing jigsaws, playing memory games and other puzzle games.


 

We tried a couple more magnetic anti gravity experiments.



 

We did another TEAM activity, this week about the difference between joking, teasing, and bullying and what we can do to be kind to people and to help if we see bullying behaviour.

We went for a walk to see the local christmas decorations and lights and a christmas post box.


 

We did the next build to launch activity and built a catapult after hearing about how and why NASA engineers need to be very precise and perform a lot of tests.






Next week is our last week for the year!

 This is our last week of the year before we take 3 weeks off for Christmas and New Year. Our week started with something a bit unusual - snow! We went sledging, built a snow gorilla, had snowball fights and of course, as per our theme, built snow castles! Our theme for article of the week this week is all about the lead up to the Age of Exploration. We read about the travels of Marco Polo, the methods used for navigation, the spice trade, and the new ships the Europeans started making in the Middle Ages to help them travel longer distances. We had some more fun with numbers. We practiced more adding and subtracting within 20 and tried out some different methods of making it easier when subtracting such as breaking the number down so you can get to an easier number first then subtract the rest. We played sum bingo, a sum matching memory game, a number bonds to 20 matching memory game, and a game where we had to find the missing number to add to make a total and do that many of an a...

 A bit of a quieter week this week as we had a few family things to do. We made some lego stop motion videos. We found the youtube channel of the person from the legocon thing we watched last week and got some tips and inspiration. Then we set up our scenes and made our own. We played with lots of lego too, watched some octonauts, played some games.  We went out to a new nature area with some friends and we identified some creatures we found using google lens on the app. We think this guy is a lesser stag beetle. The first 2 strawberries from our garden were ready to eat! We also went to a wedding and Vin had fun playing with some children there.

 This week we did some more activities about money. We practiced identifying coins and adding them up. We played Ed and Bunny go shopping. Vinnie filled in an activity sheet with lots of addition and subtraction of money. V read a couple of story books about people saving money and raising money. We also did some white rose maths activities. We did the letterbox lab experiment making a rubber band helicopter. We tried out different things to find out the best balance between size and weight of the helicopter compared to the blades.  Vinnie did some pages from his handwriting book, his comprehension activities book and his spelling practice book.  He drew some lovely fun pictures. He is very inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog at the moment so has drawn some fun scenes with the characters from the games and cartoons. We did some puzzles together. Vinnie chose some mini mysteries to watch on mystery science, we enjoyed watching about how lego bricks were invented, and why people...
