Hot Seating with Mr Twit

We asked relevant questions Mr Twit and recorded our ideas on the microphone to help us write our stories.

We enjoyed finding out about Norway form a variety of sources.

We used the index page of our atlases to match the page number.

We planned ,with support the method to be used to make our articulated figures.We identified what worked and what didnt and improved the process e.g some Mr and Mrs Twits needed fatter legs to work with the split pins.

Shape Properties

We used the language of number and shape when we talked about shapes and their properties.

Models of "The Twits " - Mark Making

We made plastecine models of the twits. We experimented with mark making using a variety of materials.

We count in 1s,2s,5s and 10s to help us recognise patterns of numbers.

Writing Instructions To Make A Dream Catcher.

We have been writing instructions. We know that instructions have to be in the correct order for people to follow them. We also know we should start each instruction using verbs.

We have decided to look at the country Norway and compare it to Wales. We have used globes and atlases to help us find out different facts about the country. We have been locating, selecting and using the information. We were very surprised at some of the facts we found out!

Making a Jewish Sukkah

Every year, Jewish people celebrate Sukkot by building a shelter. They cover the walls, and hang fruit from the ceiling. We have made our own model sukkah.

Jewish Festival of Sukkot - reading.

We read the story of Sammy Spider's Sukkot. We drew our own pieces of fruit to decorate the inside of our sukkah (which is a jewish hut or shelter used during harvest).

Making The Dead Tree.

We have been making 'The dead tree' from The Twits. We cut pieces of white tissue paper, then rolled it and spread sticky glue over the top. We didn't use green tissue paper, as we thought this might make the tree look like it was growing!

Playing Pairs - reading.

We have been learning our sounds. To help us, we have played pairs using flashcards containing the sound. It was tricky at the start trying to remember where our partners had put the flashcard as there were so many of them!

Writing Words In Shaving Foam

To help us try to remember how to spell 'ou' words, we have been writing different words in the shaving foam. It was great fun but very messy!
