Feeling hot!

What a sunny few days!

This week the penguins have been creating their own pirate ships. They have been built with rigging, a crows nest, a mast, sails, a ships wheel, cannons and even a plank to walk across. The children then had to test them out in our water tray to see if they would float. Some ships needed materials changing as they became soggy or broke off in the water. Great problem solving and resilience!

In maths we have been learning about grouping and sharing. 
In our phonics we have been looking at ue and ew words. The penguins have been amazing us with their writing and super effort. 

The penguins have now finished their road safety work. They have used their amazing listening skills to remember to stop, listen and look before crossing the road whilst holding hands with an adult. They talked about how electric cars and push bikes are very quiet and that it is very important to stop talking and look and listen several times before crossing. Good work penguins!

Later in the week we looked at the life or a pirate and listened to some sea shanties. The penguins then worked in small teams to make up their own pirate sea shanty. They had lots of fun performing them!

This next week is a week full of adventures.
On Tuesday we are walking to the library for a story session followed by a craft workshop. Later that day, in the afternoon the penguins will be visiting their year one classroom. We had a circle time and thought of lots of questions to ask Mrs. Pratten and we also made a list of all the things the children would like to see in the classroom.

On Wednesday afternoon we are visiting St. Andrew's church as part of our RE work. 

We will try our hardest to change all reading books on Tuesday and Wednesday this week but due to our library and church visits they may take a little longer. All books definitely be changed before the end of the week.

Thank you
