Good evening,
The children have had a fun
week practising their dances and songs for the Christmas performance. They are
very excited to perform to an audience!
In English, the children
finished their non-fiction unit based on the book ‘Plenty of love to go
around’. They wrote labels, lists, captions and explored the features of
non-fiction books. In Phonics, the children have been reviewing the Phase 5
graphemes and tricky words they have learnt so far during this half term.
