Archie's visit

Hi everyone,

This week we have been learning all about shapes.  We have learnt some new 2D (flat shapes) shape names -pentagon, hexagon and octagon.  The 3D shapes (solid shapes) we have been looking at are cube, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid and sphere.   Why not look round your house for some shapes? Lara did a great job searching for shapes in class today - well done Lara.




Thank you to all those parents who are helping with learning the new tricky words and phase 3 sounds. I've noticed a big difference in the last week.

We have also been thinking about growing up and all the changes that happen from being a baby to being the grand old age of 5.  We have looked through our celebration books and seen how we have changed since September.  We can do loads more now than we could then - writing, reading, cutting out........We also noticed how much we had grown. We have been thinking about parts of our body and trying to label them.  We had a go at labelling AJ.



On Thursday we had a visit from baby Archie.  The last time he visited he was only 6 weeks old and he couldn't do much.  Now he is 6 months old and he can almost sit up, he can laugh and smile and he can even blow raspberries!  We asked lots of questions about how he had changed and his mummy is going to bring him back in the summer to see us again.  Well done Eysan and Elifnur for thinking of some great questions to ask.

On Monday we had a theatre performance - The Hobbit - it was great fun.  Friday was Red Nose Day and we had to wear something funny for money.  Have a look at our great pictures from the day:
