Our topic this term is 'Inside out' and the children were interested to find out more about snakes. We read books about snakes and saw a video of a snake shedding its skin. We were hoping that Mrs Mc Carthy would be able to bring her snake in, but it was too cold for it. When the weather warms up we will be able to see a real snake. During the week one of the children brought in a snake skin for everyone to see.
We looked at the patterns on snake skins and had a go at drawing our own. Some of the children made their own pictures and wrote their own facts about snakes. Mrs Byrne was very impressed with the writing that some of the children produced, particularly some of the boys.
We have been learning about addition this week and have learned about using a variety of manipulatives to find totals. We had a go at writing our own number sentences. The home learning this week is to explore and practice addition at home. Most of the children were also reversing their numbers so they could also practice this as part of their homework.
