Our week:

Another amazing week, including our first trip to church for Harvest Festival!

We will be starting our music unit using the recorders on Tuesday, so if you have one at home please send it in (we have spares in school if not!).

Reminder that library books must be returned by a Friday to take a new one home.

Maths:

This week we have continued our unit ‘place value to 10’. The children have been using the signs <> and = to compare numbers within 10, they have also been exploring ordering numbers within 10, ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and using a number line.

English:

We have started our next unit of writing 'Beach Trip', where we are writing about things we might do at the seaside. This week we designed a picture for the beginning of the unit and some of us started our first sentence - 'I went to the beach and played in the sand.'

Big Picture – DT:

We recapped on our preparation techniques to finally make our own picnic sandwiches! The children all did amazing at chopping, grating and spreading to make their very own sandwiches - and got to eat them too! Any pack lunches this week can be handed over to the new chefs!!

Science:

This week we started thinking about day light hours, including the differences between the seasons.

RE:

In RE, we explored the parable of 'The Lost Sheep'. This helped us understand that Christians believe that God looks after all individuals, even if they lose their way.

PSHE/P4C:

In P4C this week we thought about change. We thought about how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly, is it still the same? The children had some really insightful thoughts and views, which we then applied to ourselves.
