Maths
In maths, the children have been exploring number bonds to twenty. This week we introduced the bar model to support learning numbers to 20.
The bar model supports understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction in that both can be seen within the one representation and viewed as different ways of looking at the same relationships.
The examples above illustrates how the bar might be used for addition and subtraction problems. A question mark is used to indicate the part that is unknown.
Eva: "Four and three makes seven"
Mateo: " Ten plus two makes twelve"
Livai “ 5 add 5 is 10”
Zarrar “ 6 and 4 is 10”
Literacy
This week, we continued reading Tadpoles promise. This is a story about is about a tadpole who meets a beautiful caterpillar and they fall in love with each other. The shiny black tadpole promised the rainbow caterpillar that he would never change but that was not a promise he could keep.
Soon the tadpole changed. He grew two legs and then he developed two arms. His tail vanished and he became a frog. The butterfly could not recognise him. She cried herself to sleep because she was so upset. Surprisingly, she changed too… into a magnificent butterfly! Then something you would never expect happened. The frog leapt out the water and ate the beautiful Butterfly.
Our literacy task this week researching facts about frogs. We discussed as a class different ways to retrieve information, the children were great in telling the teachers that information can be retrieved from books, computers, Alexa, Google, and the TV.
Key Vocabulary: tadpole, froglet, frog, butterfly, willow

Tadpole Update
The children have been checking in on the tadpoles daily and observing the changes as they grow from tadpoles to frogs. They have thoroughly enjoyed watching them grow.
On Friday, Miss Mullan is going to return the little froglets to the pond and we will pop down to see them when they've grown fully into frogs.
Emily “Tadpoles turn into froglets then adult frogs”
Ameera “ I caught two tadpoles”
Mikail: "that one has got legs...look!"
Alfie: " They are actually really cool frogs... I like them alot"
People who help us
We were very lucky in reception to have some police officers and special constables visit.
They told the children all about their jobs and how they help people in the local community. The children had lots and lots of questions and the police officers answered as many as they could.
They showed the children their cufflinks, radios and body cameras. One police office even let the children try on his jacket
Finely: "I want to be a police car man when I grow up, they go fast "
Kai “I want to be a police man when I’m older”
Mrs Hathaway: "Wow, I can't believe how heavy this coat is," how do you run in this?
Tiger -Lily: "I saw a police car at Tesco's"
