We have had a very busy week as we have started rehearsing for The Christmas Production. The children are very excited, especially when another dance is performed!
We have been learning to count in fives in our maths lessons. We have found many ways to record and show equal values and have been learning about 'ten and some more.'
We wrote a letter and a list of instructions in our English lessons. The children are working hard to learn the phonemes we teach in Year One and are writing a list of 'tricky words' every day.
We used Autumn leaves and paints to create prints in beautiful seasonal colours. They will be on display in the classroom.
The children drew pictures of the four seasons and added children wearing appropriate clothing to each one.
Here is a photo from last week's non-school uniform day.
NEXT WEEK
We will be rehearsing for The Christmas Production throughout the week.
Maths
We will be looking at 'greater than ten,' counting in twos, one more and one less.
English
Our focus will be on poetry. The children will be reciting poems, reading and writing their own poems about Autumn and Bonfire Night.
For our phonics sessions we are currently working on consonant clusters, such as sm, fr, lk, st.
DT
Next week we will be starting to make sliders. These are pictures that have a sliding mechanism to create a moving object within the frame.
Science
As we continue to study seasons we will be focusing on animals next week and researching how the seasons affect their habits and lives.
RE
The children will continue to learn about the festival of Hanukkah. We will be writing a list of things we need to create a party to celebrate Hanukkah. We will also be playing Hanukkah bingo.

I wish you all a happy weekend.
