Story Telling
This week the children have been listening to stories, retelling stories and using small world characters to make up their own stories. The children have read short stories and practiced how to answer questions about the text using full sentences.
The children made up names for different sea creatures and used them to make up their own stories.
The children listened to the story 'A Tale of Two Frogs' - a traditional story from Russia:

They then retold the story, considering the main events in order. The children also talked about which part of the story was their favourite, explaining their choices.
The children have worked in groups in Maths to listen to the story 'The Doorbell Rang'. They then worked in pairs to solve the division problems, showing their working out.
The children have used different objects to help them solve a range of mathematical questions related to division. They have been able to use the key vocabulary of 'sharing, share, divide' to discuss their learning. The aspect of this learning that the children found most enjoyable (and rewarding) was sharing sweets amongst a small group because they got to eat them as well. At the beginning of the session they had to predict how many sweets there were. The children also discussed whether the sweets had been shared fairly / equally. They used the language of 'remainder' for any extra sweets.

Some children used cubes to investigate which numbers could be shared equally between two people. They began to identify patterns they noticed.
