Dear parents,

Reminder: Please return the trip reply letters to us, so we know if your child is having a school packed lunch or one from home. Please return these as soon as possible, thank you.

This week we have continued to work on length and comparing two or more objects. The children are becoming experts at using the language  such as tallest, shortest, longest to describe the length of  objects around us. We have also practised using the conjunction ‘and’ within our writing to extend our sentences. We found that the children are great with writing short sentences and using capital letters and full stops. However, including the conjunction will help with developing their writing and ideas.  Followed by, learning about Chinese/Luna new year and about the story of the Great Race, which the children enjoyed recapping. As well as, learning about how children being baptised and how this takes place in an orthodox church.

We have also learnt about the process of fossilisation by sorting pictures in order. Along with, getting creative and making our own dinosaur masks! 🙂

Have a lovely weekend!

Dear parents,

This week we time travelled back in time to 1800s to help Mary by sticking posters around to tell everyone about her new discoveries! The children were shocked to find out that rich men in London stole her ideas! We have also been doing more digging in our roleplay areas and writing down what we have found. Along with, creating our own fossils using salt dough!

We have started our new maths unit which is all about length. The children have been getting practical using cubes to use language such as “taller, shorter and longer” to describe the size of their towers. We have also been describing the length of other objects that are all around us.

During PSHE our topic this term is about celebrating difference. So far we have talked all about what makes us similar and different to our friends in the class. We all understand that it is ok to be different to others!

Have a lovely weekend!

Dear parents,

This week we have started our new topic about fossil hunters such as Mary Anning! This week we have been making predictions based on the story book cover and writing questions to Mary Anning. We have also learning to do addition within 20 by using the ‘making 10 first’ concept which the children have grasped well.

Today we have also learnt about the feast day Theophania! Which is an important date in the Greek Orthodox Calendar. The children learnt about how this links to Jesus’s baptism and how this is celebrated today.
