Thank you for sending in your photos of your families. The children have had a great fun talking about all the members of their family at the front of the class.

  We have been looking at our King Charles and his family member too. Who will be our next king?

We have made the most of the lovely Spring weather and been spotting signs of Spring and naming some common flowers we can see.

Next week we have invited you in to school help your child make the character they have designed.

Here are a few highlights.

Ordering numbers to 10.

Working out number bonds to 10 using a 10 frame.

Painting castles

Working outside to work out how many more are needed to make 10.

Looking for signs of Spring.

Thank you for support at home.

Well Spring is well on its way this week. It has been so lovely and the children have been able to appreciate our wonderful grounds.

We even read stories in the woods with our fantastic buns and biscuits. Thank you for your support with this.

In number work we have been recapping on mathematical words of taller than, shorter than, longer than and shorter than. Learning the order of days of the week.

Next week is all about castles, kings and queens and life in a castle in the past. 

Here are a few highlights.

Thank you for your support at home.

Hello,

What a super first week we have had with the planet's lining up for us to see at 6.30pm on the 28th February.

M VEM J SUN is the order of the plants. This is a simple acronym to help us remember the order.

We have made some amazing space pictures which have come home this week.

We have been reading fantasy stories or we can call them fiction.

In math's we have been looking at partitioning number 8 and 7 seeing patterns in these parts using dominoes.

1 6

2 7

3 4

4 3

5 2

6 1

We saw the patterns of dots change.

We have been learning about our community and what we do and where we go in our community. For example  we all go to school, some people go swimming, gymnastics, visit the dentist or doctors. 

Thank you for your support at home,

Mrs Oddy and the Team

We have had a lovely time learning acting and reciting many, old Traditional tales.

The children are now identifying characters in the story, the setting, the problem and the solution of many stories we are reading.

This week was safer internet week we have discovered that BBCBITE SIZE has some super games to play for mathematic and many many learning tools in a safe environment on the internet.

Most fairy tales have happy endings as do many traditional tales.

This week we have learnt the story of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff.

We have acted it out,  written little phases and sentences, painted trolls, made bridges inside and outside in the woods.

Here are a few highlights.

Sorting socks in to pairs, 2 socks in a pair 6 socks in 3 pairs. How many socks in 4 pairs?

Printing and cutting and sticking bridges.

Experimenting with how to make a bridge.

How we have finally shelved out our new shed so we have put everything back in and can open up outside play. 

We had fun make big bridges with planks in the woods.

Thank you for your support at home, keep up the reading we have put in extra books.
