This week we read the story 'Astro Girl' about a little girl who wanted to be an astronaut like her mummy. We wrote about a job that we want to have and sequenced the story.

We also wrote Christmas lists for Father Christmas. 

Phonics

Some of us continued to learn the phase 3 digraphs.

Some of us have continued to recap the phase 3 trigraphs.

Some of us learnt the two sounds that the split digraph u_e makes (oo and you).

Maths

We measured length using cubes and mass using balance scales.

See our pictures here.

We read learnt about waiting and how it is important on the lead up to Christmas. We talked about Mary waiting for Jesus and wrote about a time that we have waited.

In our 'Celebration of the Word' we continued to learn about trust. 

P.E.

We had a great dance session with South Ribble.

We planned our Christmas card and decided whether we wanted a slider or a lever mechanism.
