This week we have been learning about 2D shapes. We have noticed that the shapes with straight sides fit together really well and are good for making pictures with e.g rockets and houses.

We also matched up the names to the shapes and sorted 2d shapes into those which have straight sides, those that have curved sides and those which have both!

Our week in class 1. 3.10.16

This week we set up a harvest fruit and vegetable shop. We priced up the different fruits and vegetables with labels, sorted out the different values of the coins and set up the tills.

We practiced cutting, slicing, chopping and stirring in our big 'cauldron' outside, it was a lot of fun pouring and measuring the soup!

The soup kitchen was a great success, we had lots of customers and served the soup with toast and bread!

By the end of the week we had practiced and were ready to make the real soup!! We invited the children in nursery to come and join us to make the soup.

We weighed and measured out the ingredients and then waited for it to cook ....

We all tried the soup, some of us liked it but others not so much, but we all had lots of fun making it!
