Week ending 14.11.14

What have we been doing in English? Last week we continued looking at the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We drew out our story maps and practised writing our sentences which helped to write our stories at the end of the week. What have we been doing in Maths? Last week we began to look at measuring. We did lots of measuring using cubes and other objects comparing the longest and shortest. We measured items around the classroom, leaves and even our feet! What have we been doing in Topic? Our topic for this term is Ourselves. Last week we learnt about the life and work of Florence Nightingale- a truly significant historical figure who made radical changes to nursing. Other news… November 27th sees our ‘Decorate your head’ day which is being organised by FOGG. In return for decorating your head please bring in a small gift for the Christmas fair. Our year one reading event is next Monday 24th November at 9am. Please let us know if you or a member of your family can attend. The Talent Show was a great success and helped us to raise lots of money for Children in Need. Congratulations to everyone who took part and well done to Asha and Hannah in Mrs Ellis’s class and Venuja and Maia in Miss Tovell’s class who really proved that Garrick Greek has got talent! Another gentle reminder to please return your lunch slips every Friday or you can return them all at once.
