Welcome back!  We hope you all enjoyed half term.  It is been lovely to see all of the children back.  They have been telling me all about their experiences of fireworks and bonfire night. We decided to write a recount of a time when we have seen fireworks.  We used video clips, illustrations and adjectives to help us plan our recounts.

In maths we have been focussing on adding and subtracting tens from a two digit number.  We have used dienes to make the numbers, pictures to help work out the answer and number lines to jump in tens.  We will be continuing this next week.

All children have received their part and lines for this year’s nativity.  Where possible, we have tried to take in account your child’s preferences. For example some children requested shorter parts. It would be great if you could start practising these with your child at home, noting what the lines are before your child speaks so they know their cue. I have also (hopefully!) attached MP3’s of the nativity songs for your children to sing at home if they wish.

If you have not already done so, please can you return your permission slip for our trip to SeaCity Museum?

We hope you have a great weekend.
