Yet another week that has gone by in a flash!
First of all I want to thank you all for coming to the Parent Meetings this week. It was so lovely to see people face to face and to be able to show you the work that the children have been doing. I think you would all agree that they have been working very hard. Thank you so much for all your positive feedback. It was good to hear that the children are happy, settled and enjoy coming to school. I was especially pleased to hear how much lots of them are enjoying reading at home, for pleasure, and how hard they have been working on their Times Tables too.
This week in Maths we have been measuring length and height. The children have showed skill in using different equipment to measure in cm's and metres.
We have continued to use Cinderella for our writing. The children have written their own 'Fairy Godmother' instructions this week. We have had butternut squash to replace the pumpkin and a variety of animals to replace the rats, mice and lizard used in many of the book versions.
Next week is the final week of the half term and the point at which we are half way through the school year. What a scary thought! Just a reminder that if children have had the same library book for some time they might want to make sure that they bring it back so that they can change it on Thursday for the holidays.
The children may have mentioned Miss Dyke who has been teaching and supporting in our class. She will be with us until the Easter holidays as part of her Teacher Training. The children have all made her feel very welcome. You may see her on the door some mornings and afterschool.
Have a wonderful weekend.

This week has been National Storytelling Week!
In school we have celebrated this by having extra daily story telling sessions. Each class has had a chance to ring the school bell to let the whole school know it is time to read a story. We also had a Story Teller visit school on Wednesday. The children really enjoyed this and listened for nearly an hour to a variety of stories. It has been lovely to read some extra stories and listen to the children talk about some of their favourite books. I hope this encourages them all to read more often at home.
In maths we have been revisiting place value. We have been partitioning and ordering numbers on a number line. We have also been adding and subtracting multiples of 10.
We have continued with our work based on the story of Cinderella. This week we have been looking at writing to Inform. We have been looking at Instructional Writing and will be writing some of our own Cinderella themed instruction next week.
Remember to book your parents meeting appointment and I look forward to talking to you next week.
Enjoy your weekend.

The children have all had a fantastic week of learning.
I have been really impressed with their enthusiasm for learning their Times Tables. We have been working on our 2, 5 and 10 Times Tables and beginning to know these facts using our mental recall skills. I am in the process of setting up a Key Stage 1 Rewards System for Times Tables. Certificates and medals will be coming soon!
The links below are from Numberblocks and will hopefully make learning their Times Tables more fun. Your support at home in learning these is much appreciated.
We have continued are writing work using the story of Cinderella. We have been writing diary entries as Cinderella recounting the events of The Ball. Next week we will be moving on to some writing to 'Inform' with some Instructional Writing.
On Thursday the children all brought home a letter about Parents Evenings. If you have not seen this please look in your child's bookbag.
Have a lovely weekend!
