What's going on this week...

6. Very Hungry Caterpillar craft - love it!  #WorldEricCarle and #HungryCaterpillar:

Hello everyone,

This week we are continuing with our Hungry Caterpillar topic! You will notice a new display going up along the back wall of the classroom with all the different things that we have been up to. This will continue to be added to this week. 
In literacy we are going to be learning about information (non-fiction) books and how these are different from story (fiction) books. We are beginning to focus more on cursive writing as the weeks go by. This may look a bit messy to begin with but please persevere as it will get there in the end! We practice writing in phonics, group reading and literacy but any practise at home would be great too. It has been lovely to see all the home learning coming in with writing on so thank you! 
In maths we're leaning about length this week. We will be using non-standard measures; so measuring something using hands, shoes or paper clips. The language of cm and m will be covered, but later on in the year. We'll also be making pom-pom caterpillars which can be seen above. 
Finally, on Tuesday we are having a whole-school 'Switch Off' day. All essential things will be on but lights, computers, printers etc will not be used for the day to encourage children to think about saving energy.
