Week ending 19.12.4

What have we been doing in English? This week we have been reading Harvey Slumfenberger’s Christmas Present by John Burningham. The children came up with their own ideas for what might be wrapped up in Harvery’s present and they also wrote their own lists for Santa. What have we been doing in Maths? The children received a letter from the harp telling them that it missed the Giant. They were challenged to build some new giants to keep the harp company. We looked at how different 3D shapes could be used to create the features of the giant. The children also measured and compared the heights of each giant and the size of their feet. The children have also been busy preparing for their Christmas party tomorrow – please remember that they can bring a set of party clothes to change into if they wish. Have a good Christmas.

What have we been doing in English? Over the last twos week we began looking at the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We have been thinking and writing about what we would find if we climbed to the top of the beanstalk. What have we been doing in Maths? We have been looking at money and recognising the different coins and we have also been carrying out maths assessments. What have we been doing in Topic? By the end of this week we will have finished our design and technology project. We hope you enjoy them! Other news… Don’t forget our open afternoon on Monday 15th December- 130pm until 4pm. Year One will be having a Christmas party during school on Thursday 18th December. We will play lots of party games but we won’t be having any food as it will be just after lunch. If your child wants to bring something to change into after lunch please send it in with them. We have been doing our phonics checks so we will not have read with everyone over the past two weeks as normal. Thank you for your continued support at home. Thank you for all of the boxes you have brought in. This will support our end of year maths project in year one.
