What a busy week!
It was so lovely to see so many of you for our 'Meet the Teachers' event on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was good to be able to talk to you all (if only briefly) and get to know your faces, which will really help us when sending the children out the doors at home-time safely. I think the children also enjoyed being able to show their grown-ups their classroom.
This week we have started our topic 'Emergency 999'. Our main focus for this topic is the Great Fire of London. We have ordered some events to create a timeline, so that the children can begin to have a better idea of the past and some of the main events that have happened. We have also sorted pictures thinking about whether they belong to the past or present day.
In English we have been listening to the story 'Katie in London'. We have been using this book to inspire our writing and have written descriptions of Buckingham Palace and of the sights we might see from the London Eye. We have used google maps and video clips to allow the children to have a 'virtual' visit to these famous sights.
In maths we have been recapping on our bonds to 10 and 20 and looking at the patterns between the two. We have been using equipment to make numbers to 50 focussing on the value of the digits (tens and ones).
In art we have been making some skyline silhouettes in preparation of our painted silhouettes London Skyline (pictures to come next week).
The children will be bringing some maths and spelling homework home after school today. Please remember that regular reading is also their homework and we really appreciate your support in listening to your child read at home as much as possible. Please remember to record all their reading in their red reading record book.
The children may have mentioned bringing boxes to school. We will need these for the first week in October (more details to come soon). If you could keep them at home until nearer the time that would be really helpful and save us from being overcrowded with boxes.
Have a lovely weekend!
