Topic/LiteracyWe will be continuing this week with our Pirate theme leading up to our Bridlington trip. The children will be looking at the types of ships pirates sailed in and how they acquired them. The children will be designing their very own pirate flags and making up their own pirate names as well as designing treasure from various materials in the outdoor area.
We will be taking a scientific approach this week and investigating what good materials are best to make a pirate ship model from can the children make it float? Will it sink and why? Would a paper boat be a good idea? What is the best material?
The children will also be making pirate accessories and writing messages in a bottle to their friends when they are stranded on a desert Island.
Numeracy
This week we will be consolidating our understanding of 1 more/1 less than and in particular subtraction and looking at what happens to the number when we take away. The children will be using number fans, numberlines, number mats and a 100 square to support their understanding by counting and jumping backwards.
The children will be embarking on a fabulous journey of their own this week to Bridlington so an action packed week in store ...... Ooh Argh!!
