We enjoy celebrating you child’s birthday. However, there are children in our year group who suffer from nut allergies and will have serious reactions if they are in contact with nuts. So please do not bring cakes in unless they are in sealed bags or party bags which we can hand out at the door at Home time.
Congratulations to our Mathletics Award winners!
Well done!

Our topic is ‘Sort it Out’. It is related to our science learning about materials. Children will continue to learn about everyday materials, understand their properties. This week we will be focusing on Natural and Man-made materials. For e.g.-natural materials are wood, coal, clay, sand, iron, rock, leather and man-made materials are bricks, glass, paper.
English
Our focus text is ‘The Lonely Beast’. We will continue and complete our story maps and the children will be writing the story of ‘The Lonely Beast’. We have been learning about adjectives (large, cheerful, playful, beautiful, handsome) and prepositions (through, between, in, on, under). This week we will be encouraging children to use them in their story writing.
Maths
Children will continue Place Value-teen numbers and counting in ones, twos and tens.
PSHE
We will continue exploring the theme using the story ‘Something Else’. Our theme for this year group – All Different All Equal. This week we are going to make a poster for our display board.
RE
We are going to perform ‘The Christmas Story’ soon. Children are learning some songs.
