Honeybees - Friday 26th April

We have had a fantastic week in Honeybee's Class!  The children have spent lots of time alongside their friends choosing to read books and mark make this week, we have seen fantastic sharing, playing and working together which was just wonderful.

Our focus book this week was Dear Zoo written by Rod Campbell. The children enjoyed listening to the story and guessing the correct word to describe the animal. They even went on to wrap up their own choice of animals, labelling the parcel and placing a stamp on to ensure they got back to the zoo. 

In math's this week we learnt how to look at small totals and say the correct number without having to carefully count, they became very confident at quickly spotting groups of 2,3,4 and 5. This was tricky to start with but they were so resilient and became so confident by the end of the week, well done Honeybees! 

On Wednesday we took a trip to The Wild Place near Bristol, where lots of fun was had by all. We went on a bear hunt through a forest where the children saw brown grizzly bears, wolverines and wolves. In addition to this we went through a lemur enclosure where the children got really close, observed zebras, goats, cheetahs and gelada monkeys. The children had a great time observing and we ended the day with a play in the adventure playground. 

Well done Honeybees, what a super week!
