Good evening all,
It has been a busy week for

various activities.

enjoyed their new explanation unit based on the ‘Big Bug Book.’ They have been
exploring the features of an explanation text and have been orally describing
and writing simple sentences that describe the appearance and movement of bugs.
In Art, the children have
painted a variety of bugs that have been made into a beautiful corridor
display.

finding a half of a quantity.
