Chinese New Year

Welcome back! The children have settled back well and have been enthusiastic in learning about Chinese New Year. We made lanterns and  practised counting up to 5 in Mandarin. Oscar taught us how to say hello and goodbye and Bella shared a Chinese lantern and a paper dragon she had bought in London.


" Chinese New Year is important. I went to my friend's house and played. My friend's daddy gave me some money in a red envelope".


"It is the Year of the Dog" Nathaniel


" Dragons are lucky. Red is a lucky colour. They put lanterns up in their homes. " Ronnie


" The emperor had a race and the rat won".Grace


In maths we have been learning to match different coins and talk about what is the same and what is different.


Next week is Book week. We shall be reading the story of The Magic paintbrush by Julia Donaldson. We will be reading different books she has written. On Friday please can we bring a cushion and a book into school for a whole school read in the hall in the afternoon.
Our Learning Owl is Nathaniel who has been making links in his learning by using his phonics in his writing. Well done, have fun with Otto.

Sharing Assembly

We really enjoyed sharing our assembly with you, and hope you enjoyed it too. The children spoke really well and were very proud of their learning.
This week as well as practising our assembly we have been thinking about money, matching coins and talking about what's the same and what is different. We played a game called Odd One Out using 2p 5p and 10p.


" The 2p coin is the odd one out because its the largest coin but the smallest amount" Grace
"  The 10p is the odd one out because it is the biggest". Max P
" The 5p is the odd one out because it is an odd number". Oliver


When we come back from the holidays we shall be learning about Chinese New Year. The home learning is to find out a fact to share.


We hope you have an enjoyable , fun and safe holiday.

Number day

Thank you for your donations for NSPCC Number Day. We have enjoyed ordering our numbers and playing Odd One Out. We paid for our snack using 1p and 2p coins. Next week in maths we shall be learning about money and our home learning is to play shops at home.
In Literacy we have been using wow words (adjectives) to describe the Rainbow fish's friends.
Next week we shall be practising our assembly and look forward to sharing it with you on Friday morning.
 Just to clarify our Library day is alternate Mondays and Christine the lady who runs the library for us has asked that the children keep their library books in their book bags until they are changed. 
Our Learning Owl this week is Ella who has been persevering with her writing. Well done. Have fun with Otto.
