Class 1 had a fantastic time performing their nativity to the rest of school and their families, we are very proud of them all! 

We have been getting creative, independently making our calendars for the new year - brilliant determination and perseverance from everyone. In Maths we have been investigating mass, working together to order from lightest to heaviest. Outside we have been busy making each other obstacle courses, decorating chalk Christmas trees and drawing snowmen. We have also welcomed some new friends who will be joining us in January.

Class 1 The children have settled back in quickly and have been excellent learners this week! A highlight of the week was making musical instruments from man made and natural materials in the woods. They talked about what makes them unique.  Then they had fun making jigsaws of their faces and looking at how each face is different and each face is special.  Mixing up the jigsaws to make funny faces was the best part!

Class 1 This week Reception took advantage of the autumn sunshine and had a walk around the village. They spotted lots of signs of autumn and were fantastic ambassadors for the school. We have been working hard with our phonics and blending and have really impressed everyone with how many phonemes we know. In Literacy, Reception have completed their work on 'The Something', working hard to make their plans and use them to come up with their own sentences. In our SCARF sessions we have been talking about different emotions and have linked in with our Colour Monster feelings register. We all enjoyed taking part in RE week. We learned a little about El Salvador and took great care decorating our own brightly coloured crosses.

Class 1 have had another busy week. We thoroughly enjoyed our challenges on our Maths Day, demonstrating some fantastic problem solving and teamwork. In Maths we have been working on the number 4, finding different ways to build it, inside and out. In our SCARF sessions we continued learning about what makes us special, with a show and tell of things that are important to us. The children listened carefully and asked some very thoughtful questions. We had a brilliant session at the Forest on Tuesday, spotting lots of signs of autumn while exploring and keeping warm with hot chocolate. During play: we have been busy in the mud kitchen making menus and working hard in our mud cafe; we have explored how different ramps affect the speed of cars; we've been creating our own collages in our creative area and we have set each other challenges on the trim trail and obstacle course.
