This week in cherry class we have been continuing to learn about plants. We have planted sunflowers, cress, bean plants and carrots. The children have been watching as their own sunflowers begin to grow shoots! We have been learning about how to look after plants with sunlight and water. 

The children have been creating instruction books on how to look after plants, drawing and writing about plants and labelling pictures including words such as stem, roots, leaves and petals. 

In phonics we have been continuing to focus on phase 4 blends. We have been reading longer words with the -ing and -est suffix. We have read words such as:
swimming
jumping
twisting
strongest
plumpest
freshest

In Maths we have continued to learn about doubles. The children have been doubling different numbers using resources and have been recalling double facts. 

I hope you all have a restful weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next week for our last week before half term!
