The children have been busy exploring numbers to 100 this week. They have been exploring how many 10s and how many 1s in each number. They are developing confidence in using dienes.

We have also been matching numerals and number names together up to 20 and then 30 and a real challenge to 100.

The children have been exploring settings in our text driver, Poles Apart. They have had to match adjectives to the settings and have started to think of their own in order to write a setting description for the author Jeanne Willis.

We explored our school environment this week, looking for all the beautiful plants and flowers for science. The children then did observational drawings of what they could see.
