Good Evening,

 

The children have worked so hard this week, well done everyone!

 

In phonics the children have learnt the alternative pronunciations for the graphemes y, ow, g and ph. They have also learnt the tricky words who, whole, where and two. 

On Wednesday the children used Google Earth to locate the UK, England, Potters Bar and our school. They were so excited to find familiar places on the map and loved seeing our school from an aerial view. 

Today, the children enjoyed mixing the colours to create new colours and shades.

 

Next Week:

Maths- The children will start a new unit which focuses on shapes. They will be recognising, naming and sorting 3D shapes.
