Week 4

Maths: Zico has been doing some Subitising and is getting faster at recognising finger and dice number patterns. Zico used his knowledge of doubles to work out 2+3 when he was carrying his toys. He said "I've got 2 and 2 and 1 more so that is 5). Zico has also been practising writing some numerals and has notices that the letter s can look like the number 5.

Literacy: Zico has continued to read his 2 or 3 books a day as well as enjoying listening to us read the Batman you choose books. He loves choosing what will happen to Batman next. This week for writing Zico has written. I love my Mum and Dad. I can see a mini fig. I am going horse riding. I can see a big fig. I love my mummy. Zico's handwriting is getting smaller and neater and we are starting to look at staying on lines sometimes.

Physical Education: Zico has been trying lots of new things with his body this week. At horse riding he held the reins, fished off his horse and threw skittles. At Gym he went on the high beam by himself. At Swimming Zico floated on his front and back by himself for the first time! He also went on the flying fox by himself for a few seconds too!

Art: Zico has been exploring some 3D sculpture this week using tin foil from his Sandwhiches he made a snake and a boot and later in the week using modelling clay Zico made a Dinosaur with a long neck after we had been talking about Jurrasic Park.

 Zico is transferring his knowledge and skills from Gymnastics into the real world. He balanced on this at the playground and balanced on the wood by the river on our weekend walk.
