Hello everyone!

The children have had a fun week practising their lines and songs for the Christmas performance.

In English, the children created a calligram centred on winter and included exciting adjectives.

In maths, the children used cuisenaire rods, cherry and bar models to solve missing numbers using the inverse.

In science, the children discovered what John Dunlop invented.

Next week
