Ladybirds 30.06.17

This week in Literacy we have been learning about the life cycle of a lady bird. We read a non-fiction book all about ladybirds and recorded some facts. 
Did you know? 

  • A baby ladybird is called a larva.
  • Baby ladybirds eat 50 aphids a day. 
  • Some ladybirds give you a nip if you are not gentle. 
  • You should hold a ladybird on a paintbrush so you don't hurt it.
In Maths we revisited addition and practised recording our working. We learnt that you can show your working pictorially (by drawing pictures) or as a number sentence. We also found out that if you reverse the number sentence the answer is still the same. For example;  3+5 =8 and 5+3=8

In gymnastics we used one to two feet jumps and two to two feet jumps to travel along, over and across different pieces of equipment. We also practised using our jumps for hopscotch, ladders and jumping from one side of the river to the other.

When we arrived at school on Monday one of our butterflies had hatched out of its cocoon and by Tuesday afternoon we had five beautiful butterflies. Today we released them onto the school meadow. They flew off all by themselves and enjoyed exploring the different plants and flowers.

On Wednesday an Air Ambulance came and landed on the school field, it was very exciting. We walked around the helicopter and had a look inside and Daisy presented them with a check for all the money we raised at Redbourn Fun Run.

This weeks Learning Owl is William, he has been chosen for his fantastic writing this week. Well done William, we hope you have a wonderful weekend with Hootie and hope to see him at the Strawberry Fayre. 

Don't Forget tomorrow is the Strawberry Fayre!  We look forward to seeing lots of you there. Our minibeast wind chimes will be on sale for £1.50 so don't forget to pick your up.
