In maths this term, we have been investigating measurement using the Gingerbread story. We have ordered gingerbread men from short to tallest, and found other things in the room that were shorter, the same and taller than our gingerbread man. This week, we problem solved how to make a bridge so that the gingerbread man could get across the river instead of going on the fox's back. The children were given two blocks, a piece of paper and some tape to use. In pairs, they had to discuss and think about how they could make the paper long enough to get across the water. In the end, most groups were able to solve the problem by cutting the paper in two and putting the two short sheets together to make one long bridge. Finally, we measured our bridges with each other's ones.
Well done to the people who wore wigs or hats on Wig Wednesday.
We also had a tennis session later on in the week where we were introduced to holding the racket like a high five and learning the word volley.
Next week our focus letters are l, f, r, h and words: my, here, are
