Weekly Update 27.10.23

The first half term of Year One has come to an end!
This week in English the children finished writing their diary entries as Samuel Pepys.
In maths we recapped that the equals symbol can mean 'the same as' and used the weighing scales to check the answers to some of our addition number sentences.
We also continued learning about number bonds by finding all the ways of making 10.
In art the children created their own Great Fire of London silhouette painting by blending red, orange and yellow to make a fiery background and then cutting the silhouettes of London landmarks out of black card.
As mentioned at parents' evening, homework will start being set after the October holiday. The homework will be sent home on a Friday and will need to be completed and returned to school on the following Thursday. If you have any questions about this, please email the Pear Tree email address at: pear@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk
All the children have done so well in transitioning from reception to year one. This is one of the most difficult transitions in school and the children all seem well settled with the Key Stage One expectations and routines.
I hope you and your children enjoy the October half term holidays and I will see you again on Monday 6th November.
