This week in maths lessons we have been deepening our understanding of adding tens and ones. We are developing our maths skills by using ten frames, counting on from ten rather than counting from one.
If we wanted to calculate 10 + 7 we would say 10, 11,12,13,14,15,16, 17
In English we read an alternative Jack and the Beanstalk story, Jim and the Beanstalk. We have written stories, created a story map and drawn enormous giants as well as starting to grow our own beans.
The beans are only just starting to germinate and so everyone will be bringing home their bean in a plastic cup to look after during the Easter holiday.
Once your bean starts to grow roots and shoots, you should make a hole in the bottom of the pot remove the tissue paper and fill the pot with compost. Remember to put it in a bright location and keep it watered. As your bean grows it will need a garden cane to support it.
Perhaps measure your bean as it grows and bring a picture into school next term.
Have a great Easter break.
