Wow, what an incredibly busy week we have had in Team Indigo and Team Royal, take a look at what we have been up to….
We would love to thank you all for attending our Nativity, I think we can all agree the children did a fantastic job we are so proud of them all! We could not have done this without all of your help on their wonderful costumes so thank you to you all.
Maths
This week in maths we have been focusing on adding and subtracting money using coins. We started the week becoming shopkeepers with our partners and purchasing items in the shop. We had to find if we had enough and what change we may end up with.
RWI/English
This week in English we ended our story with The Stick Man by Julia Donaldson. This week we have focused on our writing skills. We have written a letter to Santa from the stick children thanking him for the safe return of their Stick Dad.
In RWI this week we have been focusing on building up their fluency when reading, this included their pace, speed, expressions and reading punctuation. Any additional practice will be hugely beneficial.
R.E
This week we have been looking at the Christian Christmas story and how other countries celebrate Christmas.
Celebrations and Festivities
We Celebrated by having a party full of games, food and a film at the end. We made paper chains and wrote what we are thankful for this time of year.
In term 3
In English, we will be looking at Julia Donaldson’s The Snail and the Whale we will continue to be focusing on our reading and our writing skills. We will be identifying rhyming words and writing our own poems.

We need your help!
