This week we are having the fairy tale 'The Princess and the Pea'. This follows on with the language used in traditional tales and also has a similar structure.
The children's story scribing is progressing well and the more confident they are becoming with phonics, the more control they are taking of the pencil and the adults are writing less. This is brilliant and the children are really enjoying writing and coming up with their own stories.
In maths we are concentrating on subtraction as the opposite to addition which we looked at last week. We are also looking at ordering numbers, finding a missing number in a numberline and number songs involving subtraction e.g. Ten Green Bottles.
We are hoping that the canopies will be finished this week but we will tell the children when we can start coming in the normal entrance again. Sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused.

Week beginning 15.01.18
This week the story we are reading 'Sleeping Beauty' as we are continuing with traditional tales. The children are starting to use the stories they hear as a base for their writing which is really good to see. Some children are using the language of the traditional tales and are beginning to have a bit of a structure to their stories too.
In maths we are working on adding. We will start by adding one and making sure the children understand the language and how to add practically. We will build on this by showing the children what equipment they can use to help them.
The library van will be here on Wednesday so please remember to put any library books in book bags and also put your child's library card in their book bag.
It is the special Paddington lunch (Sausages) on Thursday - the children can opt for this on the day so you don not need to pre-order.

Week beginning 8.01.17
Welcome back to everyone - we hope you all had a great holiday!
The children have happily come back to school and settled back in straight away which is good to see.
This week we are reading the story 'Cinderella.' This is continuing with our theme of traditional tales. We will continue to do story scribing with the children to encourage writing skills.
In Phonics we are splitting into 3 groups so the children will get the next stage of phonics that they need. They may bring home some new sounds to practise at home.
In Maths we will be focusing on counting out the correct amount of objects, estimating, comparing heights and measuring. We will also be practising counting forwards and backwards to 20.
Thank you all for working on the sound or blend games and reading over the holidays as the children are all making good progress. Please leave the sound and blend game in book bags so that we can practise at school too.
The handwriting books that were done over the holidays look really good too. We really value your support.
Have a good week!
