Week Ending 12.12.14

This week we have been performing the nativity for real audiences and I'm sure you'll agree the children did an absolutely fantastic job. They have all worked really hard and throughout the week the performances went from strength to strength.
In maths we have continued to work on addition and the children have been adding more than one. We showed them how to write number sentences and they continued to use numberlines and objects to help with this.
In English we have listened to winter themed stories and retold them orally to build up the language of storytelling. We have also been focussing on which way to read a story and answering questions to check understanding of the text. the children have also been predicting what might happen next.
The children have continued with squiggle and batty (phonics).

Week Ending 5.12.14

This week we have mainly been practising hard for the upcoming performances of the nativity show. The children are doing brilliantly. The singing is fantastic and the children with lines have worked really hard on learning them. We think you'll be impressed!
We have done work on adding one and counting forwards. The children learnt what the addition and equals sign means and we used objects and numberlines to help. We have also been practising number formation of 1, 2, 3 - three is proving quite troublesome!
We have been continuing to trace our names and learn our sounds - the sounds we have done are a, qu, d, qu, p and b.
