We have been thinking about the life of a pirate, looking at different cultures. We also had a circle time about stealing and discussing if it is the right thing to do?

In letters and sounds we have been using our buried treasure game on the Interactive whiteboard and sounding out words and putting them in the chest (if they are real words) or
in the bin (if they are made up words!)

Mathematics
Our maths focus is positional language and 3D shapes. We made shape pictures using the shapes. Miss Belcher also hid jewels in the sand tray and we hunted them out! We sorted them by our own criteria.
