Hello!
It has been another chilly week but thankfully we were able to get outside on Tuesday after enough of the snow and ice had melted.
In Maths we have been counting in 2's, 5's and 10's. The children have been using their counting skills to solve repeated additions. Like last week I would encourage you to practise these at home as repetition of the pattern is the best way to learn them! Please see links below for the songs we have been using in class.

In English we have a new focus text 'Traction Man'. The children have all written a fantastic character description about Traction Man using lots of adjectives.
In Science we have been looking at what a plant needs to grow and be healthy. We set up a cress investigation to see how a lack of water and light will effect a plants growth.
In PE this half term we are taking part in the Skipping School. Children will be learning and practising various skipping skills. If you have access to a rope at hope any practise with your child would be greatly appreciated. Skipping is fantastic for developing childrens coordination and gross motor skills :)
Have a lovely weekend.
