Wow, it’s Friday again!

We have had a busy, fun week rehearsing for the Christmas performance, the children have been practising their lines and songs during their English lessons.

Next week, our English lessons will be centred on the story Wolves by Emma Gravett. We will start the topic identifying features from a variety of fiction and non-fiction books.

In maths, the children have been enjoying learning the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. We will continue looking at shapes next week along with making patterns and using lines of symmetry.

The children have enjoyed using the IPads to take photographs around the classroom. They have been taught how to edit, delete and change the photograph from landscape to portrait.

In geography, the children finished the topic on, where they would prefer to live in a hot or cold place. We have researched numerous countries of which the majority of the class chose a hot country!

During the afternoons next week, we will be practising for our Christmas performance on ‘Angels Express’.

Following on the topic of puppets. I would like the children to create a moving puppet of their choice. The children are very excited to create their Christmas stocking in school and had some very imaginative ideas. I look forward to seeing their moving puppet and for the children to discuss their character and materials they have used to the class.

Date for the puppets to be in by please is the Friday 13^th December 2024.
