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.
I liked the story of the magic paintbrush. It was epic. I wrote my own book. Sienna xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
