week commencing 5th October 2015

This week we have introduced traditional tales and are starting with Little Red Riding Hood. The children have been talking about the characters and setting of the story and about how traditional tales have been passed down over the years. They will be going for a walk in the woods to see who they might meet and will be writing about the story later this week. In maths we have been reinforcing our counting work and beginning to look at addition by combining two sets of numbers. The children will be working with this all week and will be writing number sentences towards the end of the week. Our topic lesson this week is science and we have been learning about the five senses - the children have been using their senses of taste, smell and touch to explore different sensations. The first big book share of the year is this Thursday 9-9:30, please just come into the class with your child and there will be plenty of books for you to share - alternatively your child can bring in a favourite of their own to share with you.
