Last week, we read 'Whatever Next' as our focus story. It's about a bear who flies to the moon so we have been thinking about rockets! We learnt how to manipulate card into cylinder and cone shapes and how to join them together. We learnt about these shapes in Maths and talked about their curved and flat faces. We also learnt that a ball shape is called a sphere and the moon is a sphere.
Big Bears learnt about the word 'roaring' and when we watched a shuttle launch we understood that not only lions roar. We know a poem about giants that roar so we did HUGE roars when we recited it.
We made honey cake because when bear went to the moon he took a jar of honey with him. It was sweet and sticky!

This week we have been learning about things that are old and things that are new. On Tuesday we brought our teddies in and spoke to everyone in the class to tell them about our teddies. Quite a few children brought older teddies in because they were given when they were born. Other teddies were new because they had been given at Christmas. It was lovely to meet everyone's special teddies!
On Wednesday, we had a visitor in FS2 who came in to talk to us about road safety. He showed us, that just like Mr Potato Head we need to have our eyes open, our listening ears and walking feet to be able to cross the road safely. The children coloured their Mr Potato Heads brightly so if it was at night time he could be seen in the dark.
Bear Cubs made us delicious, chewy and stick flapjack on Wednesday.
