What a busy week!
On Wednesday we went on a walk around the village. We used positional language to plot our route and talked about how to cross the roads safely. We remembered to stop look and listen and look right and left to see if any cars were coming. We also looked for old and new houses and talked about how they were similar and different.
In History we looked at pictures of Redbourn high street in the past and the present and compared them. We noticed that there were no cars in the 1920's and that they used horse and cart to get around.
In Maths we have been learning about capacity. We used the vocabulary 'full, half full and empty' to describe the amount of water in different cups and talked about how we could make them the same. We then looked at three different size water bottles and estimated how many cups of water it would take to fill them. We noticed a pattern between the amounts- The smallest bottle held 1 and a half, the medium held 2 and a half and Miss Howells' water bottle held 3 and a half!
On Thursday we did our May dance at the Community Tea and today we had our May Day celebrations. Ross was our King and Jessica was our Queen. We all remembered the steps to our dance and danced confidently in front of our friends and family. Well done Lime Class and thank you to everyone who came to watch.
Next week is half term so Hootie is jetting off on holiday but looks forward to his next adventure when we come back.
Our Home Learning this week is to have a look at the blog and leave a comment. I wonder if you can tell Miss Howells what you have enjoyed learning about this week?
Have a lovely week and stay safe and we'll see you on Tuesday 6th June.

Fee fi fo fum!19.05.17
In Literacy this week we continued our work on Jack and the Beanstalk.We sequenced pictures from the story and created a story map together as a class. We then had a go at retelling the story, Miss Howells was very impressed with our use of WOW! words.
In Maths we have been learning about height and length. We received a letter from the Giant asking for our help. He wanted us to find things that were longer, shorter and the same length as his foot print. We found out that the timetable cards are shorter, the whiteboard is longer and our 'Elmer' book is the same size!
In P.E this week we practised our May Dance outside with Willow Class. We can't wait to perform it at the community tea on Thursday and for are friends and family on Friday. 7 sleeps to go!
In Circle Time we thought about making good choices. We read the story 'Lucy's Quarrel' and talked about how Lucy could have solved the problem with Alice.
This weeks Learning Owl is Sophia. She has been chosen for using her perseverance skills. Well done Sophia, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Hootie.
For home learning this week we would like you to explore capacity. Can you find something that is full, half full and empty?

Jack and the Beanstalk 12.05.17
This week in Maths we have been learning about sharing. We had a problem to solve, we had to share four sandwiches between three teddy bears. We thought carefully about how to cut the sandwiches and made sure they all had the same! On Wednesday Miss Howells bought some pancakes for snack but we didn't have enough. We shared them by cutting them in half. They were very yummy!
In Literacy we followed instructions to plant a bean. We thought about the order we needed to do things in and had a go and writing our own.
1. Get a pot.
2. Put some soil in the pot.
3. Make a little hole with your finger.
4. Put the seed in the hole and cover it over.
5. Water it.
6. Put it somewhere sunny.
We planted our own beans and made a castle for it to grow to. I wonder if they will grow all the way up to the clouds?
In circle time we read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and did some philosophy.We thought about the main events and came up with some questions.We then had a vote and chose the question: How would you feel if you were Jack? Lots of us said we would feel happy because we would be rich but other of us said we would be said because stealing is the wrong thing to do and the Giant would be sad.
This weeks Learning Owl is Harry, he has been chosen for his fantastic independent work. Well done Harry, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Hootie!
In Maths next week we are going to be learning about height and length so this week for home learning we would like you to put your family in size order and draw a picture of them.
Don't forget tonight is the School Disco so we look forward to seeing lots of you back at school at 5 o'clock.

"Chick, Chick, Chicken" 05.05.17
We have had another exciting week with our chicks. They have grown SO much over the last week and have begun to get white feathers! Today we held the chicks, we made sure we were very quiet and very gentle. They felt soft and their feet were a bit tickly on our hands.
In Literacy this week we looked at a non-fiction book all about the life cycle of a hen. "Non-fiction books are information books, they tell us facts instead of a story." "Normally they have a photograph on the front not a drawing." We talked about what we found out a wrote a fact.
Did you know? ...
- Chicks hatch out of an egg.
- They have down.
- When they hatch they are wet and tired.
- When they see a fox they flap their wings to warn the other chicks and hens.
In Maths this week we revisited subtraction. We practised taking away using lots of different strategies - our fingers, a number line and manipulatives.
In Phonics we learn't the tricky word she. I wonder if any will spot this in their book when reading this weekend?
This weeks Learning Owl is Georgia, she has been chosen for trying really hard with her writing. Well done Georgia, enjoy your weekend with Hootie!
The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend so for home learning we would like you to go outside and play a game. I wonder which one you will choose? Miss Howells is going to play Poo Sticks!
