We will tell you about the different things that happen during Winter. We have been learning about bundles of 10. We have been making bundles of 10 with straws and lollipop sticks.  Here are two really fun games to play. You have to figure out the number shown on the screen and then click on the right answer.  This week we worked as illustrators.

We have read the story 'The Rainbow Fish' by Marcus Pfister.  We learnt to describe characters last month. This book gave us some great words! The rainbow fish felt different at the end when he gave his glimmering shiny silver scales away! We wrote diary entries this month. 'This morning I was swimming in the deep blue sea when ....'
