Maths this week focused on subtraction. The children were crossing out how many to take away at the beginning of the week and writing subtraction number sentences and finding missing numbers by the end of the week.

Thank you all for coming to our assembly. The children loved showing you some of what they had learned since September. They may have little voices but they have BIG enthusiasm!

Preparing during Advent is our main focus this week. We have been opening our class Advent calendar, making lovely clay Bambinellis and, of course, practicing our Nativity play.

Our music lessons on Thursday have been very active, with the children learning a beautiful Christmas song about the birth of Jesus and moving to the music of The Nutcracker.

Week beginning 13/9/21

This week we have started our book 'Zog' by Julia Donaldson. The children have loved hearing about Zog's adventures at school. We have been learning to fly, roar and catch a princess, just as Zog did.

Zog - Scholastic Shop

Week beginning 4/10/21

This week we are innovating our Zog story. The children are choosing what happens to Zog after each lesson. He has crashed into a building, got a sore throat and even whispered instead of roaring!

The class has also learned the story of Zog with actions, why not ask your child if they can tell you all of the story?

In Maths, we have been sorting objects. How many ways can you organise objects into groups? We organised ourselves into groups of boys and girls, brown eyes and other eye colour, skirts and trousers. Can you sort objects at home?

Art

Today we were sketching the nursery sunflowers - just like Van Gogh.

Week beginning 18/10/21

What a busy week! The children have finished writing their own version of Zog, then moved on to learn Julia Donaldson's poem 'One, Two, Three, Blow!' as well as adding actions! Today, the children wrote their own Julia Donaldson style peoms and performed them to a very impressed Mrs Cosgrove.

So much painting! Castles, that were expertly built last week, were painted and 'Van Gough' tiles were completed. They are such a talented bunch!

The class learned how to play 'Bench ball' this morning, I was very impressed with the children's throwing and catching skills, as well as their teamwork!
