Week beginning 14th November

This week in English we are reading the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We have been reading different versions of the story and looking at the similarities and differences between them. We have been sequencing the events of the story and acting out the story. We will even be having a visit from a Giant who lives in the cupboard! In maths we have been looking at length. We compared things which are longer and shorter, measured the length of items using non-standard units of measurement and will practice measuring in centimeters using a ruler. For our pirates topic we will be learning about the famous explorer Christopher Columbus. The children really enjoyed visiting the library van again. The van will be visiting every four weeks so the children can chose their own books. If your child doesn't have a library card then please see a member of staff for a form. Dates for the diary: Tuesday 29th November - theater trip to see We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Friday 2nd December - Christmas Fair after school.
