What do you know about the number 3?

Mrs Bentley has been very impressed with our writing this week.We have been using our phonics to help us write a sentence about the troll in The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We came up with some amazing wow words(adjectives to describe him).
We have been thinking about capital letters, fingers spaces , reading it back to check it makes sense and using a full stop at the end of our sentence.


In maths we have been using our thinking skills to help talk about the number three.

Please ask us about the number 3. What is it bigger than? Smaller than? Next week we shall be talking about less than.

Repeating Patterns

This week in maths we have been creating our own repeating patterns. In LTP Sammy made a repeating pattern using the plastic bricks
" See it goes red green red green".
This weeks Home Learning is to make a repeating pattern and to record the pattern.
Thank you for all the donations of chocolates and gifts for the Christmas Fair. It is very much appreciated. Next Friday we are coming to school in spots and stripes for Children in Need. We are asking for Jazzy Jars for the Christmas fair too.
We have been learning about the artist Van Gogh and have made our own interpretation of his picture Starry Night. We linked the artwork with our Literacy and have been writing wow words (adjectives) to describe the stars and the sky in his pictures.
We all enjoyed Woodlands. Please look on the website at the photos of the children exploring.
Our Learning owl this week is Ronnie who has been challenging himself with his learning. well done , have fun with Otto.

Welcome Back

The children have come back from the holidays refreshed and ready to start learning again.


We have been using the bead strings in maths to practise finding one less. We used a speaking frame to help with our learning " 1 less than...is..." Please ask us to find one less at home with different objects, or when out shopping etc.


In PE we have been using the balls to practice catching head height keeping our eye on the ball. The home learning this week is to practise throwing and catching alone and with  a partner.


On Wednesday we shall be going to Woodlands for the first time, so please ensure we have wellington boots to wear as it can get very muddy.


Our Learning Owl this week is Leo who has been taking his learning forwards in Learning Through Play. Well done! Have fun with Otto.
