Hello!
It has been a very busy week for us in Pear, as they always are!
On Tuesday the children had a special visit from Florence Nightingale. She took us on a journey all the way back to Scutari Hospital in 1854. The children had lots of work to do as Nurses and Porters. We also got the chance to look after an injured soldier who had been fighting in the Crimean War. We learnt lots about Florence's life and got to ask her lots of questions. Scrub scrub scrubbing in Scutari Hospital!
We have continued with our Owl Babies writing, focusing on setting descriptions this week and again we have had some super star writers! In Maths we are working on really solidifying our place value knowledge of numbers up to 10. The children have been counting forwards and backwards from a given number within 10. They have also been finding 1 more and 1 less than a given number with the help of practical resources.
In Art we carried on with our Nature Sculptures focus and have been doing observational drawings of flowers, rocks, sticks, shells and pinecones.
In PE we have been working on our throwing skills and starting to look at some ball control skills with our feet.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Cotterill
