Welcome to Eagles Class

English - Handa's Surprise
The children have been listening to and reading the story of Handa's Surprise. The children enjoyed using puppets to act out parts of the story. We explored sensory trays filled with fruits from around the world. Children matched pictures of the fruits to the animals that stole them from Handa's basket.
Geography - Where does our Food come from?
The children have been learning about food sources and how food is produced to arrive at the supermarket. The children explored a range of animal and plant based foods to taste. They then sorted them according to their source, either from an animal or plant.
Maths- shape- We have been learning about shapes. We have been exploring shape, matching and sorting shapes, starting to identify shapes and some of us have been sorting shapes based on their features e.g. curved or straight edges. Well done Eagles!
English- instructional texts- This week we followed instructions to make an Orange and carrot smoothie.
Jeans for Genes- Today we have been learning about how our Genes make us all unique. We have taken part in lots of activities to celebrate Jeans for Genes day including exploring photos of ourselves and our friends, selecting symbols to describe ourselves, sorting Jeans and Genes and other sensory activities.
Instructional texts- In English we have been working on following instructions. This week we followed instructions to make lemonade and took part in other related sensory activities. Some of us also worked on sequencing the instructions to show what we did.
In English this week we have been reading, 'The Tiger who came for Tea'. We thought it would be fun to make sandwiches for the tiger when he visited the class. The children followed simple instructions on how to make a cheese or Jam sandwich. We then used symbols to sequence the steps in the correct order, whilst some children wrote the instructions.
In Science this week we have been learning about animals including humans. This week the focus was our teeth and how to look after them. The children followed a simple sequence to learn how to clean their teeth. They practiced their skills using model teeth and large toothbrushes.
In PSHE this week we have been learning about how our body changes as we get older. This week we have been learning about how to care for a baby. The children practiced washing, feeding, dressing and changing a nappy on babies.
