Hello!
I cannot believe how fast this half term is going! We are already at the half way point.
This week we have been writing invitations for Prince Charming's Royal Ball where he plans to find a wife. The children have made the ball sound fantastic with their persuasive sentences.
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 practice 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 DT this week we had a go at making a Jack and The Beanstalk lever. With the use of a split pin the children were able to make Jack climb and fall off the beanstalk.
On Thursday we had a visit from Steel the gladiator! Steel came and delivered a whole school assembly about confidence and self belief. He also talked about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Have a lovely weekend.
