​This Week
We have been continuing our Under the Sea topic and sharing the book, The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. We have been talking about our favourite foods and discussing healthy food choices for pack lunches.
In maths we have been learning how to find the 'difference' between two numbers by counting on and comparing two sets of objects.  We have also had a go at writing our answers in number sentences.

Literacy - Sentence writing, what the Lighthouse Keeper has for his lunch.
Maths - Finding the difference between pairs of numbers 

Next Week 
Next week we will be continuing our Under the Sea topic looking at the story. 'Pirates Love Underpants.' We will be having lots of fun making pirate related crafts and we will also be looking at maps and compasses North/South/East/West and giving directions to find hidden ''Treasure.'

Literacy focus -  Design and describe a pirate character 
Maths focus - positional language - Treasure maps
