October has arrived and the weather has certainly started to feel more Autumnal. Please remember to send your children to school each day with a waterproof coat and school jumper. We do have the windows open during the day which can make the room chilly at times.
We have continued to learn about The Great Fire of London this week. We have been looking at sources of evidence that can be used to tell us about the past. The children have enjoyed learning about Samuel Pepys and learning about why his diary was so important. They have drawn some portraits of him using their sketching skills.
We have been sequencing the story 'Katie in London' this week and next week the children will be writing diaries of her adventure. This links well with learning about Samuel Pepys's diary.
In maths we have been ordering numbers and using language and symbols to compare numbers, objects and representations.
Next week we have our Fire of London Workshop. We have an outdoor learning specialist coming in for the day. The children will be learning more about this historic event, constructing a London street and ending the day with a recreation of the fire. There will be lots of pictures to follow!
Please remember to listen to your child read as much as possible at home. Evidence shows that this regular reading and re-reading of books really helps to improve children's confidence and reading ability.
Enjoy your weekend.
