During Big Maths this week, the children have been learning to measure surface area. We used counters and gem stones to measure the area of a variety of shapes. We found that the cat shape had the largest surface area with it requiring 179 gem stones!
Following on from our castles topic last term, we will now be focusing on Fairy tales as our new literacy topic. This week, we read Jack and the Beanstalk which really captured the children's imagination! We planted our own magic beans and we are eagerly waiting to watch them grow into beanstalks!
James loves to build. He asked for these magnetic tiles for his birthday and has used them every day since!
