Hello!
Welcome back and a belated Happy New Year to you all!
This week has been a challenging week with the snow. We have been unable to go outside and use the playground but in spite of this the children have made a fantastic start to 2025 - everyone has come back to school with a super attitude and has been ready to get stuck in with all learning.
Our writing focus in English for this half term is all about superheroes. This week as we have been writing character descriptions about Elastigirl from The Incredibles family.
In Maths we have started to look at multiplication. The children have been making and adding equal groups using repeated addition. We have also started to learn how to count in 2's. The children really enjoyed singing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyCr0IgbYcI
Our Geography topic this half term is 'Exploring the United Kingdom' for our first lesson we looked at where do we live in the UK.
When changing the reading books this week I could see that lots of you have been busy over the holidays which is fantastic. Your continued support in listening to your child read at home, at least 3 times a week, is really needed and much appreciated. Please remember little and often is the key!
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Cotterill
