Vin's Learning Journey

 We went out for a walk each morning to check out all the changes in the nearby building sites and to do some iceskating on the puddles. We did some quizzes from white rose maths every day and then played a game. We had a quick fire recap of number bonds finishing maths questions and picking actions to do that many times. We added up the values of 5 number playing cards and found groups that helped make it easier to add them and threw the ball (or a gorilla!) to each other that many times. We rolled two 20 sided dice and added them together then ran up and down the stairs for the number of tens and star jumps for the ones. We took turns to pick 2 dominos out of a bag then used the left side as tens and the right side as ones and practiced writing out column addition. Then did actions for the tens and ones of course! (And then Vin did 96 star jumps!) Vinnie wrote a very nice thank you card for a Christmas gift. We read about Space on readworks articles, our theme for the next few mo...

We had these weeks off as holiday. We were also unwell for week 1 of 2023 so we took week 2 as a bonus week off to recover!  We went to look at pretty lights at Bedgebury Pinetum, ate marshmallows and met Father Christmas. We attempted to make some more sushi! Vin wrote a nice Christmas list  We had fun playing with all the new toys, building lego and reading books. We took Vinnie's new binoculars out to try them out. We met some dinos And Vinnie lost a tooth We had a nice time relaxing and charging up ready for more fun at Bowser Academy!
