As part of our topic, we have been looking at animals under the sea. We talked about jelly fish and how they wobble like jelly and also about how they can sting you. Then, we made our very own jelly fish!  

We are having so much fun in our new role play area!   
    
 

Today we have been talking about the different places fish can live and made our very own fish tanks, just like Nemo’s! 

To celebrate the Queen’s birthday, we made our own crowns, played party games and wrote birthday cards. We also had a picnic lunch outside on the field with the rest of the school and ate birthday cake!  
    
    
    
   

Our new topic is ‘ I do like to be beside the seaside’ and we have been learning all about fish! Our new Talk for Writing text is Tiddler and we have started to make our story map to retell the story. We have also looked at a real fish and seen its scales close up and smelt it… Some of us didn’t like the smell too much!

 This week we have been using our physical development and maths skills to make an octopus. We started with a circle and folded it to make a semi circle. We then each counted 8 rectangles and attached them to our semi circle for the legs. All of the legs were numbered and we had to add the correct number of dots to each one. Finally, we counted two googley eyes and drew a mouth to complete our octopus 🐙!
