It has finally begun to feel like Spring with this warmer sunshine!
We began exploring our new text in Literacy, Bog Baby. We have enjoyed creating some expanded noun phrases to describe What the Bog Baby looks like and to describe his new habitat in the bucket that he was carried back home in.
In Maths we have been looking at picture graphs and using tally charts to record information we have found out. For example we recorded the different modes of transport we took to get to school in the morning and then used this information to create our own tally chart to find out which mode was the most popular. We have also been exploring picture graphs with different keys, meaning each representation might be worth 2 or 5 instead of 1, which has tried to trick us!
In science we have begun to look at different life cycles. This week we thought about the life cycle of a duck, how it changes and the stages it goes through. We also learnt a new tricky word.
Finally a message from Miss Baker:

Next week is the start of Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel event (previously called Big Pedal). The event will run for 2 weeks from Monday 21st March through to Friday 1st April.
Encourage your child(ren) to walk, use a wheelchair, scoot or cycle to school on as many days as possible during the event. Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is a great way to build physical activity in children’s daily routine which is important for their physical health and mental wellbeing. Plus there are some great prizes to be won every day if we get enough children taking part!
To help you prepare, Sustrans has developed a handy free guide packed with advice, games and challenges to help you have hassle-free cycle, walk or scoot to school.
For more information about the event go to www.bigwalkandwheel.org.uk. Enjoy the challenge!
