Reading - Please try to read each night, it makes a big difference!
English
We read the story 'Harvey Slumfenburger's Christmas Present'. We talked in partners about all the different ways that Father Christmas travelled to deliver Harvey's present. We then drew pictures and labelled them.
Phonics
Some of us have been revising oo as in zoo, ue as in glue and we learnt ew as in screw.
Some of us have been learning that the ch digraph can make a variety of sounds - ch in church, c in chorus and sh in chef.
Maths
We continued our fractions learning by exploring quarters. We made quarters using coloured paper and identified quarters in shapes.

R.E.
We recognised how Mary and Elizabeth waited for the arrival of their babies. We acted out the sharing of the good news.
DT and Art
We printed our Christmas card and made our mechanism so that it could move. Some of us made a slider card and some of us made a lever card.
Forest School
We chose our own learning; there was shelter building, mud cooking, worm hunting, twig crafting, imaginative role playing and leaf identifying. We found some snails and wanted to find out if they were hibernating.
Dogs Trust
We has a visit from Sam. She taught us how to be safe around dogs and how to treat them well so that they have a happy life.
Rock Steady
We had an amazing assembly on Friday. We watched and joined in with Jacob as he played the drums, bass guitar and a keyboard. We nearly lifted the roof off with our singing! Please see the letter your child has brought home today for more details.
