What a great start the children have made to this half term! It was great to see so many of you enjoying the fireworks celebration on Sunday. What a great way to start back!
Highlights of the week:
This week we have been consolidating our knowledge of the 9x table. The children have loved singing along with Percy Parker. Remember you can find all of the songs on YouTube to practise at home. They have also been using the timetable tab at the top of the blog page to practise their tables. In English, we have begun to read our class text 'Bill's New Frock' and have been answering comprehension questions about the book so far. The children have also been hot seating each other in the character of Bill. They generated some great questions and really enjoyed being in role as the character. We have been really practical with our learning this week. In RE, the children have been acting out the story of Diwali. We also used the outdoor area to take some mindfulness photography pictures of wildlife as part of our ICT learning.
Important notices:
