Autumn 2: Week 1

 

What a lovely first week back we have had after the half-term break! The children have returned to school full of energy and have shown a fantastic enthusiasm for learning right from Monday morning. It has been a fabulous start to the new term.

 

Here is a look at what we have been up to this week:

In our English lessons, we have begun reading the beautiful book Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. The children are enjoying the story of the boy and the penguin, and we have been using it as a wonderful stimulus for our writing. They have come up with some brilliant ideas already!

We kicked off the week in maths by recapping our number bonds to 10 to make sure our foundations are rock solid. We are now moving on to exploring addition within 10. To help consolidate these vital number facts at home, please encourage your child to log into NumBots. Just a few minutes of practice a day makes a massive difference!

In PE, we have started an exciting new unit learning all about badminton. For our first session, we focused on getting used to the equipment, specifically being introduced to the shuttlecock—learning how it moves and how to track it.

 

Thank you for your continued support, and have a wonderful, restful weekend!
