Week beginning 9th January

Happy New Year to you all! We hope you all had a lovely break. This week in English we have been reading the story of Hansel and Gretel. We have been reading different versions of the story and talking about the similarities and differences and also comparing this to other traditional fairy tales. The children have created a story map to show the beginning, middle and end of the story and have acted out the story as a whole class. In maths we have been learning number bonds to 10- these are pairs of numbers which add up to 10 (for example 5+5=10, 2+8=10). There are lots of lovely games online to help the children to remember these. This half term we will be doing gymnastics in PE. We will be exploring different ways of moving, balancing and using simple apparatus. Our topic for this term is Off With Their Heads! A topic web will be coming home shortly.
