Happy Friday!

We started this week by looking at the meaning behind Remembrance, after our super visit on Friday. We have been doing some lovely printed poppies with big sponges, have had lots of Officer Vyse's equipment to explore and we used it to make dens outside around the climbing frame. For our literacy, we had a lot of fun looking at the photos of everyone wearing/using the different pieces and they did some super writing.

We also had our wonderful Children in Need day today! We have had lots of fun activities out through the morning, and then played games in the afternoon. We went into the hall to do some dancing and were surprised that Pudsey himself had come to visit and have a dance! Well done to Millie and Ralph for winning the dance competition.

In maths this week, we have looked at 2D shapes again with a focus on 4 sided shapes. We can all recognise a square and a rectangle, but how do we know which is which? We've used lots of vocab around the sides, corners and had fun trying to see which shape was which when we could feel it but not see it. We also started one lesson with a big square piece of paper and loved folding it to see how many different sizes of each shape we could make. Why not try a shape hunt at home and when finding shapes, explain how you know which it is - How many corners does it have? How many sides? Are the sides straight? All the same length or different?

Next week - PE kits on Tuesday and Friday again please.

And now the weather is getting very cold, please make sure all children are coming to school with a thick Winter coat. You are also able to send in hats etc, but please make sure all accessories are labelled with their names, and please choose mittens over gloves where possible. It's also a good time to practice doing their zips up themselves too.

A big well done to Harriet for getting the Gold Award, and have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)
