Good evening all,

 

We have had a very busy first week back at school after the half term holiday!

 

In English, the children have been working hard on their recounts based on the book ‘Little Red and the very hungry Lion.’ In phonics they have revising the Phase 2, 3, 4 and 5 sounds and practising reading real and ‘alien’ words in preparation for the Phonics Screening check next week.

 

In Maths, the children have continued to practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. They have also been recognising equals, adding equals and making arrays.

 

In Geography, the children have been learning about human and physical features.

 

In RE, the children heard the story about ‘Jonah and the Whale’ and wrote about it.
