Topic:

This week we have been reading The Three Little Pigs. We discussed the different materials used to build the houses in the story. We discussed different types of buildings we live in such as houses, flats, bungalows, caravans etc. 

The children enjoyed retelling the story during their choosing time and remembered the key phrases in the story such as "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down". 

Take a look at all of the fun activities the children completed this week: 

Key vocabulary: 

Three Little Pigs, straw, sticks, bricks, house, wolf, sharp, claws, teeth, pointy, beady, eyes, pink, grey, scary, strong 

Maths: 

This week we built on our understanding of zero. We learnt that zero can also mean ‘nothing

there’, ‘none’ or ‘all gone’. We have also have been continuing to develop the skill of

subitising. The children looked at groups of objects and had to instantly

recognise the amount without needing to

count them.  

Key vocabulary: 

zero, count, subitise, nothing, empty, all gone, none
