Rainbow have had a wonderful first term. Our story book has been ‘The Naughty Bus.’ Within the story the ‘Bus’ has many adventures, including speeding through a plate of beans and falling into the garden pond. Rainbow have been acting out these adventures and creating their own exciting ideas for where to take the ‘Bus’ next, giving lots of opportunity for imaginative vocabulary and narrative.  On Wednesday morning our classroom was very messy and we thought that the Naughty Bus had come off the book during the night and untidied our classroom. We decided to make wanted posters to find the Naughty Bus. We are beginning to use our phonics knowledge to write simple words such as bus, big, red and bad. Please keep practicing reading at home with your child and write a comment on their reading diaries.

It has been a very fun and practical week in maths. We have focused on the key vocabulary ‘more, fewer and same’. We have explored different ways to work out if 2 groups have more, fewer or the same quality. We used counting, subitising (Subitising is when you are able to look at a group of objects and realise how many there are without counting) and five frames.
