I can't believe that we are almost in December!
We have started to get 'full-swing' into our Christmas Play Rehearsals. The children should all have taken their lines home and their homework this week is to learn their lines. They need to be able to say their lines clearly and loudly.
In English we have started a new fantasy story 'The Emperor of Absurdia'. The children have been making predictions about what the story will be about using some of the pictures. They have also started to work towards writing a description of the 'Wardrobe Monster' from the story.
In maths we have been pairs of 2 digit numbers where there is crossing of the tens. I have been very impressed with their engagement.
This week we brought our topic 'Emergency 999' to a conclusion. The children worked in pairs to present a 'News Report' about the Fire of London. It was a great opportunity to show off all that they had learnt.
Enjoy the school Christmas Fayre this weekend.

A shorter than usual week for the children this week but we have still managed to pack lots in.
In English we have been sequencing and retelling the story of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children all wrote a part of the story and then retold it orally as a group. I was very impressed with their use of the key story vocabulary.
In maths we have continued our unit on Addition and Subtraction. The children have been adding and subtracting multiples of 10 and adding pairs of 2 digit numbers.
We are coming to the end of our 'Emergency 999' topic and this week we have been recapping on our learning so far. Over the next few weeks the children will be working in pairs to create a News Report about the Great Fire of London.
From next week our Christmas Performance Rehearsals will begin. We have already started to learn the songs and most of the children have been given their parts. All their words will be sent home next week. Your help getting them to learn their lines, at home, and say them clearly is much appreciated.
Enjoy your longer weekend. Keep Warm!!

The week's are flying by too quickly!
Our PSHE this week was all about 'What makes us Happy'. Someone from Mind Mate came and delivered a Whole School Assembly. The children then talked about happiness and listened to the story of Elmer. They then enjoyed creating their own colourful elephant. We had some fabulous designs!
In maths we have been adding a single digit to a 2 digit number where there is crossing of the tens. The children were shown a variety of strategies to use. We have also been adding and subtracting multiples of 10.
In English we have continued to use the story of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children enjoyed using drama to help them to imagine that they were in the forest (setting of the story). Then then wrote their own description of the setting remembering to use expanded noun phrases.
Our topic work this week was about how the fire service changed after the Great Fire of London.
We have also started to learn the songs for this year's Christmas Performance. The children should all have been given their parts by next Friday and we appreciate your support in helping them to learn their lines at home.
Happy Weekend!
