The children have worked so hard on the Christmas performance this week and we cannot wait to show it to you on Wednesday and Thursday next week.
In science we have continued learning about materials. The children learnt about the properties of different materials and went on a hunt around the classroom with a partner to try and find materials with different properties.
We have spent our phonics lessons recapping the sounds that the children have been taught so far in year one. On Tuesday the children worked in teams to read words and match them to the correct pictures.
In PSHE the children learnt what to do when they are being left out of a game or what to do if they see someone being left out. We discussed how it is important to speak up for ourselves to make sure we have friends to play with at breaktimes.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday.

This week has flown by!
In phonics the children have learnt how to read and write words containing the 'ou' digraph.
In maths we have started to learn how to count to 20 and how to represent the teen numbers.
In English we started reading the 'Emperor of Absurdia'. The children made predictions about what they thought would happen in the book, using the clues from the front cover and the blurb. We then went on a word hunt around the classroom looking for key vocabulary from the story.
Last Friday the children enjoyed planting their own daffodil bulb and we will be watching this grow in the spring term.
Thank you so much for all the donations for the Christmas fair. Our class had the most donations out of KS1 so the children are going to have some sweets, provided by the PTA as a reward.
Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday,

We have had a busy week in Pear Tree Class!
We wrote descriptions of the 'wild things' island in English. Next week we are going to start reading 'The Emperor of Absurdia' by Chris Riddell.
In maths we have continued learning how to subtract within 10 and have used a range of strategies including counting back on the number line and finding the difference between two numbers.
In art the children created their own painting inspired by Mark Rothko by mixing two primary colours to make secondary colours.
In computing we discussed the different types of IT around the school and how they can be used for different purposes.
Thank you for all the donations for the Christmas Fayre; we nearly ran out of room on the chart we used to track the donations!!
Enjoy the weekend and I'll see you again on Monday.
