Growing

We have continued to learn about lifecycles this week and we have learned about the lifecycle of a bean. We looked at the inside of a runner bean to see what the seeds look like and we have all had a go at planting our own seed. We have planted beans in a plastic bottle so that we can watch them grow. The children can already see a root appearing!
We had a fantastic session down at the Woodlands. Following on from our learning on lifecycles we did some pond dipping and found a dragon fly larvae. We found out about its' lifecycle when we got back to the classroom.
For Literacy this week we have planted the seed and we wrote instructions about how to plant them. we used 'bossy' words to write our instructions.
In Maths we have had a week on solving problems. We solved problems which included sharing and halving. Perhaps you could do this at home with your fruit in the fruit bowl, or slices of cake. How many are there left? How many would we get each? What can we do if there isn't enough?
Our home learning this week is to put your family in order of size and have a go at measuring. You could also try measuring other things too.
