Our book of the week this week has been ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’.
However, before we started reading this book we had a surprise! We had a delivery from the zoo in response to the letters we had written to them about which pet we would like in our class.
The zoo had sent us a fish! We were all very excited.
The children decided that we should name the fish. We had some suggestions from the children and then everyone had one vote as to which name they wanted our fish to be called. Our fish is called ‘Bubbles’.
We talked about why we have a filter in the tank and why it needs a plug on it. We also discussed the fish tank being half full and estimated how many jugs of water we would need to fill the tank.
Bubbles had his first meal in Clee Class and is now very settled into his new home
After reading ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ story in Literacy we drew a self portrait and wrote words to describe how we would feel if a tiger came to our house; we used words like scared, sad, happy, hungry. We wrote a shopping list of food we would buy when we went shopping if a tiger ate all our food and we drew a picture of a tiger and labelled it. Everyone is getting really confident at using their Phonic knowledge to have a go at writing independently.
In Maths we learned about repeating patterns
And symmetry
On Friday we had a tiger who came to tea party.
In the morning we made repeating pattern fruit kebabs
and as we have been learning about halves we made sandwiches and cut them into half, remembering that both halves have to be the same
We enjoyed a great party with a stripy tiger cake made by Mrs Dallow and a very special guest! Who even did a tiger dance for us!
What a fantastic, busy week we’ve had!
