Welcome back

First day back well not quite for Karen, unluckily she is stuck in the sun of Corfu as her plane was cancelled.
We had an enormous box of coins to count in Numeracy. Before we counted we guessed how much money there was and Lauren's guess was closest. Everyone realised that the first task was to sort the coins out and place all £1 coins, 50ps etc together. Then we saw it was easier to put the £1 coins in piles of 10 to make these easier to count.
We had no P.E. today as nine children had no kit so apologies to those who brought in their kit. It was a pity as it was a wet lunchtime so it would have been nice to get some exercise.
In Literacy we looked at non-fiction books (information books) and saw that many of them have an index, glossary, contents page and diagrams. a diagram is a picture that shows how something works.
Our topic in Science is rocks and soils so this afternoon we found out what rocks we can name and listed things that are made from rock. When we finish this topic in two weeks time we will know a lot more!
