A shorter than usual week for the children this week but we have still managed to pack lots in.
In English we have been sequencing and retelling the story of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children all wrote a part of the story and then retold it orally as a group. I was very impressed with their use of the key story vocabulary.
In maths we have continued our unit on Addition and Subtraction. The children have been adding and subtracting multiples of 10 and adding pairs of 2 digit numbers.
We are coming to the end of our 'Emergency 999' topic and this week we have been recapping on our learning so far. Over the next few weeks the children will be working in pairs to create a News Report about the Great Fire of London.
From next week our Christmas Performance Rehearsals will begin. We have already started to learn the songs and most of the children have been given their parts. All their words will be sent home next week. Your help getting them to learn their lines, at home, and say them clearly is much appreciated.
Enjoy your longer weekend. Keep Warm!!

The week's are flying by too quickly!
Our PSHE this week was all about 'What makes us Happy'. Someone from Mind Mate came and delivered a Whole School Assembly. The children then talked about happiness and listened to the story of Elmer. They then enjoyed creating their own colourful elephant. We had some fabulous designs!
In maths we have been adding a single digit to a 2 digit number where there is crossing of the tens. The children were shown a variety of strategies to use. We have also been adding and subtracting multiples of 10.
In English we have continued to use the story of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children enjoyed using drama to help them to imagine that they were in the forest (setting of the story). Then then wrote their own description of the setting remembering to use expanded noun phrases.
Our topic work this week was about how the fire service changed after the Great Fire of London.
We have also started to learn the songs for this year's Christmas Performance. The children should all have been given their parts by next Friday and we appreciate your support in helping them to learn their lines at home.
Happy Weekend!

A great first week back after the half term break.
In English we are looking at stories with an imaginary setting. Our first book is 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children have been making predictions about the story and creating word banks to describe on of the 'Wild Things'.
In maths we have continued with our work on addition and subtraction. We have been adding and subtracting a single 1 digit number from 2 and some 3 digit numbers where there is no crossing of the tens. We have also been adding by making 10.
In our topic work we are continuing our work on 'Emergency 999'. This week we have looked at what happened after the Fire of London and what changes were made when rebuilding the city.
Thank you to all those parents listened to their read child read during the half term break. Can I just remind everyone of the importance of regular reading at home, it really is vital at this point in the children's learning. Your support with this is much appreciated.
Have a great weekend.
