English

In English, we have been focusing on ‘Friendship Stories’. We have completed lots of writing, reading, sensory and role play activities around the stories ‘The Rainbow Fish’ and ‘The Snail and The Whale’. We really enjoyed exploring new vocabulary and understanding the characters in the stories.



Science

In Science, we have been learning about ‘Senses - Sound’. We have spent time exploring different sounds and how to make different sounds. We learnt new vocabulary, such as pitch and volume. We walked around the school to find different sounds and categorised them into ‘soft sounds’ and ‘loud sounds’. We also experimented with different everyday materials to find how we can make different sounds using different objects.
