This week, Chestnuts were shocked to discover that the Evil Pea had returned to their classroom once again. This time, the Evil Pea had been very mischievous and froze their fruits and vegetables in blocks of ice. The children were quick to work together to save them from their icy predicament! They spent time discussing the different ways that they could melt the ice and came up with a plan to warm the ice through or chisel away at it using tools. Following on from this, the children enjoyed ‘checking’ the school’s CCTV footage and observed the Evil Pea entering the classroom. This caused huge excitement and the children were keen to write letters to Supertato asking for his help. Alongside this in Literacy, the children have been creating story maps to retell the story of Supertato. We have been really impressed with their story tellers voices!
In Maths this week, the children have been exploring 3D shapes and have been learning about their properties, looking for the 2D faces within them and have enjoyed being shape detectives, looking for shapes around the school. What a fantastic week of learning!
