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.

Have a lovely weekend! 🙂
