This week we went up to the library for the first time and the children were really excited to visit a different part of the school. We will visit the library every Tuesday so children can take out books, if the previous book has not been returned they will not be able to take out a new one. Please comment or sign their reading record once read.
In maths this week we looked at subitising number 3, that means looking at a group of objects and seeing 3 without counting them. We played some different games to support this.

This week the children enjoyed having their grandparents and family members in to help them with some arts and crafts and to listen to the Christmas songs that they performed at their Nativity. Thank you so much for coming.
Miss Rowson and I would like to thank you all for the lovely cards, gifts and Christmas wishes we have received, we hope you have a lovely Christmas and a well earned break. The children have worked very hard this term and we are very proud of how far they have come since September.
Please could all bookbags have a keyring on them so children can identify them when getting ready for home time.
In January we will start going up to the library. The children will be taking their book bags so can you make sure that they are emptied each week so they are easier for the children to carry up. The children will not bring home a book on the first day back as I know they will want to spend time chatting and playing with their friends so we will start going the following week.

What a week it has been! At the start of the week we spent a lot of the time in the hall rehearsing for our Christmas Nativity and they were all superstars on Wednesday morning when they finally got to show you what they have been working on – the children were fantastic!
This week we talked about the Nativity story a lot. I read the story and used the characters to act it out – as I read, the children sang the songs from our Nativity.
Today we dressed up in our best Christmas clothes
And then we had a surprise visitor….
Thank you for the yummy chocolate treats Santa!
Please remember to bring your Kris Kringle presents in on Monday if you haven’t done so already.
The children have worked so hard this week and Miss Rowson and I are so proud of them, here’s to the last week 🙂

This week in RE we thought about what a birthday is. Our birthday is the day we were born and will be the same day each year. We celebrated Kipper’s birthday in class. We had a party for him, wrote out invitations and made birthday cards.
This week we had a visit from Richard, the postman for this area. He told us all about being a postman and the jobs he has to do. He showed us some of the letters and parcels he had in his bag as well as a special machine he uses for scanning barcodes.

In maths this week we looked at subitising the number 2, this means being able to instantly see 2 objects without having to count. We did several around this activities including using a number fan to show the number 2, putting 2 objects on a 5s frame and helped teddy get across the path to see his friend but he was only allowed to step on stepping stones with 2 objects on.
We went into the hall on Wednesday to take part in a Hinduism workshop. We listened to the stories, joined in with the dancing, and explored the artefacts that we were on display.
