What does an engineer do?
We will be looking at different robots and machines and the incredible jobs they do... Including hoover robots, robots that can build cars and machines in factories that make things that we use every day!
We will be sharing this brilliant story:
Along with the sequel... No Bot-The Robot's New Bottom!
We will be moving and grooving to these vintage Barney tunes:
Along with making our own 2D shape robots and of course doing lots of improvised robot dancing!
We are SO PROUD of how brilliantly the children are doing with their phonics. We are starting to be extra speedy with our sounds and trying really hard to form them correctly. We are also starting to blend sounds together to read simple words! Keep up the super work Little Dreamers!

In maths, we are continuing our White Rose topic 'just like me'. We will be looking at comparing sizes, weights and capacities as well as exploring simple patterns. Here are some activity ideas of how you could support this learning at home:
